Abstract
A spring tensioned roller and spaced tension bar have a vehicle cover folded in half and rolled around the spring tensioned roller. The rear half of the cover has an end rod and a central opening which allows it to be hooked over a trunk lock mechanism and kept secure when the trunk is shut. The front half of the cover has a lead rope or belt with two hooks for securing it under the hood of the vehicle or any other edged surface on the front of the car. The tensioned cover is elevated above the roof of the vehicle by the roller and tension bar for purposes of ventilation.
