Abstract
A system protects a steering column from debris. The system includes a pair of arms moveable between a closed configuration and an open configuration, and a vertical member configured to move toward a lower position when the steering column is positioned thereon. The vertical member is coupled to the pair of arms such that the pair of arms move toward the closed configuration and facilitate protecting the steering column from the debris when the vertical member is moved toward the lower position.
