A vehicle cover made from a thin flexible material such as silk, which is provided with a plurality of transversely arranged resilient strips of metal or plastic. Pulling cords are threaded through the holes formed on the ends of the resilient strips so that when the cords are pulled in the opposite directions or when one ends of the strips are fixed and the other ends are pulled, the resilient strips are curved or buckled upward stretching the web and forming a dome-like canopy above the vehicle roof for protection of the vehicle from sun rays or precipitations. After the resilient strips are deformed, the cords are clamped together and the ends of the cord bundles are locked to the vehicle body, e.g., by hooks. The cover of the invention can be easily wound into a roll.
