Abstract: A vehicle frame element cover apparatus is provided which includes a flexible shell adapted to be snugly fit about the frame element and held in proper orientation by an adjustable strap and pockets which receive portions of the frame element. Zippered slits are formed in the shell to allow convenient attachment of the cover to the frame element and, when the slits are closed, the cover is drawn taut around the frame element. Preferably, the shell is formed of an inner layer of soft material and an outer layer of durable, wear-resistant material. Removable pouches may be mounted on the shell.
