Abstract: A modular car cover has a cab covering portion and a shirt. A skirt is attachable to the cab portion to extend the latter to become a full car cover. The skirt may be formed as one part, or may comprise forward and rear parts. The skirt is gathered at the bottom by an elastic band or, in other embodiments, by a drawstring which has a hook and ring for tightness adjustment. In another embodiment, the drawstring terminates in chains, which are padlocked together for security. The cab covering portion is provided as a single panel, cruciform piece, with four sections draping over the windshield, two sides, and rear window. In alternative embodiments, the cruciform piece is abbreviated, and separate depending panels are attached thereto. These depending panels overlie one another, so that the cab covering portion better conforms to the vehicle, and adjusts to cover the corners of the cab, which are somewhat exposed by the cruciform embodiment.

Abstract: A car cover having tethers passing through holes formed in the cover. Each tether has an anchor in the form of a ball attached thereto. The anchor is larger than the interior diameter of the holes, so that the tether is prevented from being pulled through the hole. The cover is retained on the vehicle by placing at least one anchor inside the vehicle, and closing a door or window over the tether. In alternative embodiments, the vehicle cover has one or more tethers. The tethers may be linear, or may form a closed loop. A tether may pass through just one hole, or more than one hole. The cover is preferably dimensioned and configured to cover only the cab portion of a motor vehicle, that is, that portion of the vehicle having any combination of front, rear, and side windows. The holes are formed in a central panel overlying the vehicle roof, and front, rear, and side panels cover vertical surfaces, attaching to the vehicle body by magnets embedded in the respective panels.
