Abstract

A cover for passenger car trunks that are accessible through a rear wheel or tailgate that is movable about a horizontal hinge axis, said cover being made with elastic material and attached to a trunk body portion and the rear lid. The attachment of the cover to the trunk body portion and lid is achieved by elastic members that are spaced from each other on the cover and are located in hollow elements that are connected to the cover and extend perpendicularly to a vehicle longitudinal axis. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the hollow body members are tubes about which the cover is wrapped and through which elastic cords pass or within which they are fixed, the elastic cords being connected by releasable snap lock fasteners to the body and lid, respectively.
