Abstract:

A cover for covering a selected exterior portion of a vehicle is disclosed. The cover includes at least one layer of flexible material having a relatively even surface with a plurality of raised portions projecting outwardly from the surface. The raised portions are sized and spaced from each other to prevent the layer of flexible material from collapsing between the raised portions. The raised portions are also sized and spaced to prevent non-pooled liquid water lying on the surface of the vehicle from making contact with the even surface of the cover. As such, non-pooled water lying on the vehicle's surface is incapable of sticking to the even surface when it freezes. Accordingly, the only portions of the cover capable of freezing and sticking to the vehicle's surface are the raised portions. Thus, the cover is easy to pull off the car even when its raised portions are frozen to the car.
