Abstract
Disclosed is an awning which is specifically designed to attach, in a horizontal orientation, above the heads of passengers in a convertible automobile. The occupants may travel with the convertible top down and enjoy a relative cooler temperature and protection from ultraviolet rays. Generally, the screen material used to comprise the awning is of a mesh design, sized and fitted to be usable for providing overhead coverage of the passenger seats on a specific convertible. Varying lengths and widths of the screen material are fabricated for different size automobiles. The awning is supported at the windshield header of the convertible and by two vertically-oriented posts behind the rearmost seats of the convertible. The awning is readily installed on the automobile and may, when not in use, be rolled up and stored within the trunk of the subject convertible.
