An automobile alcove designed for installation on a rear lift gate of an automobile includes a top panel whose leading edge is coupled to the automobile. The top panel deploys over the opened lift gate and a rear panel coupled thereto extends downwardly to a location near the ground. Left and right side panels are deployed to complete the enclosure. The left and right side panels are coupled to the top panel using a convenient mechanism, such as a zipper. One or both of the side panels includes a closure mechanism, such as a zipper, to allow entry and exit from the interior portion of the alcove. The top panel may be mechanically or magnetically coupled to the automobile at a leading edge. Edges of the left and right side panels adjacent to the automobile may also be magnetically or mechanically coupled to the automobile to secure the alcove. Fasteners, such as magnets or Velcro aid in the installation and/or removal of the alcove. The left and right side panels may be folded towards the rear panel and magnetically coupled thereto during the removal process. The rear panel and folded side panels may be rolled up and secured with straps.
