ABSTRACT:
A luggage container accessory is disclosed which includes a unitary enclosure assembly fabricated from a light weight and water repellent flexible material such as urethane treated nylon. The enclosure assembly includes top, bottom and front panels as well as a left side panel, a right side panel and a rear panel which each depend upwardly from the bottom panel. A zipper is provided near the top of the left, right and rear panels for selectively coupling and decoupling the side and rear panels to the top. A skirt depends downwardly from the top panel to conceal and provide weather protection to the zipper region. The skirt is secured in place to the side and rear panels (by snaps or the like) to maintain the weather resistant integrity of the enclosure assembly. The enclosure assembly is attached to the vehicle by a first pair of straps extending transversely across the top panel and a second pair of straps extending fore and aft across the top panel. A pair of buckles are disposed intermediate the length of each strap such that the end of each strap may be passed through a loop fixture positioned within the vehicle and then passed back to one of the buckles to complete the installation process. Preferably, protecting strips of soft rubber are provided across the outer surface of the bottom panel to raise the it off the vehicle finish to prevent marring the finish.
