ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a canopy for vehicles, such as golf cars, which canopy is adapted for mounting on a plurality of upstanding support posts carried by a vehicle. The canopy includes brackets for mounting thereof on the vehicle support posts, a resilient, perimeter frame supported by the support brackets and having opposed arcuate end sections, which in their free form, lie in a generally horizontally, outwardly bowed relation to each other, and a flexible, water-repellent top mounted on the perimeter frame in a manner so as to distort the end sections upwardly from their free form and cause the end sections, in attempting to return to their free form, to apply multi-directional stresses on the top such that the top assumes a generally upwardly convex shape in cross section.
