Self-anchoring windshield cover

A protective cover for protecting at least a portion of a glass surface of a windshield from the elements, which is self-anchoring when merely placed upon the windshield glass surface, and which consists essentially of:

• a sheet of elastomeric material having top, side and bottom edges, and a top surface and a substantially smooth bottom surface, said sheet being dimensioned such that said edges do not extend beyond respective top, side and bottom edge borders of the windshield glass surface when the sheet is placed on the glass surface;
• said sheet of elastomeric material having a flexibility such that the entire bottom surface of said sheet lies against the windshield glass surface when placed thereon to define a continuous frictional interface therewith and thus enhance self-anchorage of the sheet to the glass surface;
• and
• said sheet of elastomeric material further having an overall substantially uniform thickness in a range of 1/16 to 3/16 inch, and an overall substantially uniform durometric hardness reading in a range of 50 to 70, so that said sheet also is self-supporting and does not collapse due to its own weight and gravitational forces when placed on the windshield glass surface, the combination of said sheet thickness, durometric hardness and substantially smooth bottom surface also cooperating to effect frictional self-anchorage of the sheet to the windshield glass surface.
