ABSTRACT:
A cover (12) for covering the cab of a motor vehicle (10) includes a shell (15) of flexible sheet material and at least two flaps (48, 50) attached to an interior surface (40) thereof along seams (52, 54) which respectively extend from portions of the shell for approximately covering lower corners (56, 58) of a front windshield (16) to portions of the shell for approximately covering top edges (60) of doors (62) of the motor vehicle. The flaps can be used for simultaneously pulling the shell tightly about the windshield and across the motor-vehicle top and can then be clamped between the doors and a motor vehicle body for holding the shell tightly about the windshield and the top. Attachment devices (44) are placed on the motor vehicle body at lower edges of front and back windshields (16, 20) for attaching to the shell, and side panels (34, 36) of the shell are expandable so that when the attachment devices attach the shell to the motor vehicle the side panels can be lifted for clamping the flaps between the doors and the body.
