Abstract

A bullet-resistant panel for covering a portion of the vehicle may be movable between two positions. For example, the panel may be stored within a door in a lower position and then moved to an upper position to cover a window. An exemplary embodiment may include a mounting point, such as a sliding rail, to which the panel can be mounted to. A rail or a pair of rails may be placed along the sides of the panel to allow the panel to slide between positions. One or more of the rails may include a spring or hydraulic mechanism to facilitate movement between positions. The panel may further include a handle for a user to grasp in order to manually move the panel between positions. A locking mechanism can securely hold the panel in position.
