Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for extending a cover for a golf cart. The invention is preferably configured for attachment to a support frame of a golf cart, wherein the support frame supports a roof for the golf cart. The apparatus includes a stationary main frame member, brackets for mounting the stationary main frame member to the golf cart, a movable frame member, and a cover. The stationary main frame member is suitable for receipt by the brackets, which are in turn mounted to the upper portion of the support frame and possibly to the roof of the golf cart. The movable frame member is operatively secured to the stationary main frame member, and configured to pivotably rotate over a portion of the rear compartment of the golf cart. The cover is configured for attachment to the movable frame member so that when the movable frame member rotates over a portion of the rear compartment of the golf cart, the cover covers a portion of the rear compartment of the golf cart.
