ABSTRACT:
A boot assembly (28) for covering a stored vehicle convertible top includes a boot (30) of flexible material having an inner edge (32) with detachable fasteners (34) and having an outer edge (40) to which a U-shaped rod (38) of the boot assembly is secured. This U-shaped rod (38) of the boot assembly (28) provides outward loading that cooperates with the detachable fasteners in securing the boot (30) over the stored convertible top while also permitting convenient storage by detaching and bending the U shape of the boot assembly to an enclosed shape. Latch members (46) on the ends of rod (38) and latch retainers (48) on the vehicle cooperate with the detachable fasteners and the outward loading in securing the boot assembly to the vehicle. A storage bag (50) is also preferably provided for storing the boot assembly in its enclosed shape after removal from the vehicle.
