The frame has latching means for cooperating with fastening means of the vehicle for removably securing the frame to the vehicle roof in substantially leakproof relation, and further has cover attachment means for releasably attaching the cover thereto. The cover assembly is advantageously utilized by latching the frame into the roof opening and selectively attaching the cover to the frame by one or more attachment means whenever it is desired to cover the opening, and storing only the cover in folded or rolled condition in order to substantially uncover the roof opening.
