  • Aesthetic cover for convertible tops
    Patent number: 6120087
    Abstract: A decorative cover for a convertible top is clipped onto an existing convertible top to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a convertible top automobile. The leading edge of the decorative cover member is secured to a molded boot that frictionally engages the leading end of the existing convertible top. The molded boot is one continuous part to prevent air from getting into a space between the existing convertible top and the decorative cover member. A plurality of side clips are used to clip the sides of the decorative cover member to the sides of the existing convertible top. The decorative cover member is sewn or adhered to a preselected surface of each of the side clips. The trailing edge of the decorative cover member is clipped to the storage well or other available part of the automobile.
