Removable fastener elements are provided for releasably attaching the cover to the frame of the automobile. In one embodiment the fasteners are male and female snaps. The female snaps are provided on the front edge of the cover and have tabs requiring the front portions of the female snaps to be engaged prior to rear portions so that the male and female snaps are interlocked. In addition, fasteners are provided at the four corners of the cover so as to attach to the frame of the automobile at a level below the upper edge of the automobile windows. This promotes establishment of a seal between the side edges of the cover and the side windows of the automobile.
