Claims7
A vehicle cover system comprising a hood cover segment for covering a hood of a vehicle;
- a roof cover segment for covering a roof of the vehicle;
- and a trunk cover segment for covering a trunk door of the vehicle, characterized in that the hood cover segment includes:
- a first elastic band having a first hook member connected thereto for securing the hood cover segment to the hood of the vehicle, the first elastic band being fastened to a front end of the hood cover segment;
- hooking a second elastic band having a second hook member connected thereto for hooking the second elastic band to increase closeness of the hood cover segment, especially, a portion of the hood cover segment, to a front grille portion of the hood while the second hook member and the second elastic band is fastened to both side ends of the hood cover segment;
- a pair of first pocket portions defined at both coner portions of the rear end of the hood cover segment, and inserted in an aperture inward of both corresponding coner portions of the rear end of the hood to secure the hood cover segment to the hood of the vehicle;
- a first inner portion attached to the hood cover segment and pulled inward when the hood cover segment is installed on the hood, to be positioned below the hood, thereby securing the hood cover segment to the hood of the vehicle;
- a plurality of first webbing bands fastened to both side ends and the rear end of the hood cover segment;
- and
