Abstract
A convertible and drapable fabric article for use in a vehicle. The fabric includes a first fabric half and a second fabric half separated by an intermediate section exhibiting a plurality of parallel spaced fold lines. The intermediate section supports the fabric article upon a ledge associated with a door window opening of the vehicle in a first configuration, and such that the first half drapes over an exterior of the vehicle adjacent the window opening. At least one element is associated with at least one of the first and second fabric halves, these typically being releasably attachable magnets to support the paws of a canine perched upon the door window opening and extending across an open window. The fabric article is further converted to a second configuration whereby hook-and-loop fasteners associated with extending straps secure the fabric halves to seat back and seat bottom interior locations of the vehicle.
