The apparatus comprises a mounting plate located on reverse side of a bonnet; a cover capable of being unfolded and folded vertically. Accommodating holders are attached to the front end of the mounting board for accommodating the cover when folded. An elongated, flexible slide arm is fixed to a front end of the cover and is supported for performing freely reciprocating motion in longitudinal direction to move linearly along the external surface of the windshield and upper side of said mounting place.
