Abstract
A protective device that can be placed on an edge of a glass object such as a vehicle window has a relatively flexible elongate cylindrical body. The body has an exterior surface terminating at a pair of opposed ends, a longitudinal axis, and a length between the opposed ends in a direction of the longitudinal axis. The body also has a glass receiving slot that extends between the opposed ends in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The slot has a pair of opposed and spaced apart slot walls that face one another. The slot also extends slightly helically around the elongate body between the opposed ends, requiring the protective device to twist slightly when installed on the edge of the glass object to thus help retain the device in place.
