ABSTRACT:
An automotive windshield cover is taught using a pliable sheet with a central body for covering the windshield and side tabs that may be closed in the gasket seal between the side doors and the door frame. The sheet may include a top flexible tab for extending onto part of the roof of the vehicle and a bottom flexible tab for either extending onto the hood or for insertion into the cowl vent at the bottom of the windshield. The bottom tab is made with a contoured shape that follows shape of the sides of the cowl vent. The cover may also be inserted under the spring biased windshield wipers to be held in place. Tearing stress on the bottom tab is accounted for with a relaxed angle approach on the bottom tab to body connection. Also taught is a method for using the cover.
