A device and a system operative for protecting an automobile door from dent and damage to the finish. The device has a shield that stows in a chamber in an automobile frame below an automobile door, the shield deploying upwardly from the chamber to a position adjacent to the automobile door. The shield is deployed by a hydraulic system coupled to the shield through a plurality of linkages on a track that deploys the shield out the chamber opening and retracts the shield into the chamber. The system has an actuator for actuating the hydraulic system, the actuator selectively actuating the hydraulic system to deploy the shield when the door is locked and selectively actuating the hydraulic system to deploy the shield when is door is opening. A remote control device actuates the hydraulic system in one example embodiment. A sensor actuates the hydraulic system in another example embodiment.
