Abstract
A retractable seat back protector is provided for a motor vehicle seat. The protector includes a retractable roller with a first end of a flexible sheet fixedly attached thereto. A second end of the sheet is pulled in a direction away from the roller such that the sheet covers the seat back when the protector is in the extended position. The second end may have at least one fastener that allows the second end of sheet to be attached to the seat back. The protector is mounted onto the seat back proximal to a head rest area or a floorboard area, or may be mounted within the seat back or underneath the seat.
