ABSTRACT:
A hard, semi-rigid cover for protecting vehicle surfaces from damage by esure to the elements or chemical warfare agents is disclosed. A typical surface to be protected by a cover of the invention is a helicopter transparent canopy. Key features of the invention are a seal that forms around the cover perimeter where it fits snugly against the vehicle's outer surface and an air gap that exists between the inside surface of the cover and the vehicle's exterior surface. The cover is made of a moldable polymer material.
