Disclosed is a cap for a convertible vehicle windshield header. The cap generally follows the contours of the windshield header and conceals the sealing and latching components of the convertible top assembly that are associated with the windshield header from exposure to the weather and deterioration when the convertible top is in an open position. To encourage persistent use of the cap (and consequently the protection of the exposed convertible top assembly components from deterioration) whenever the convertible top is in the open position, the cap body is preferably configured to match, complement and/or extend the surface appearance of the A-pillars of the vehicle across the windshield header. The height and/or the rearward extension of the cap may be increased beyond what is required to follow the contours of the windshield header and/or to achieve a complementary surface appearance in order to create an augmented sun visor that extends substantially across the full width of the vehicle. |
