Anchor means for detachably securing a windshield cover to a vehicle body, comprising:
- a plurality of magnetic units each having a magnetic piece of the same size and configuration and each being of rectangular cross-sectional configuration;
- a pair of side members one extending along each of the sides of one of the magnetic units for supporting the magnetic unit;
- each of said side members being formed to have a width not greater than the width of said magnetic piece and a predetermined length longer than that of said magnetic piece with both of its ends projecting beyond the ends of the magnetic piece a predetermined distance;
- each of said magnetic units together with the side pieces associated therewith forming a link;
- a plurality of connecting members for pivotally interconnecting said links in tandem to form a flexible chain-like means by connecting the ends of each link to the end of an adjacent link, each connecting member being formed to have a width equal to or less than that of said links and a length not exceeding twice the thickness of said magnetic unit, said connecting members being of a length to permit said magnetic units to be folded to lay parallel to and in contatct with an adjacent magnetic unit.
