The cover unit 16 is held in place by attachment devices 18 positioned at opposite ends of the cover unit 16. The attachment devices pull the cover 16 by setting a tension between the two opposite devices 18 to reduce the cover 16 flapping. One attachment device can be a rigid connection such as a hook (20, fig 3) passing through a hole (22, fig 3).

The attachment device can include a clip-on (38, fig 7) device attaching directing to the front grille 12 which can allow the strap 46 to pass through. The front cover 16 can be a trucks winter front to reduce cooling of internal combustion engines in extreme cold. The device can attach to a bug screen device.
