A retractable closure for an opening in a vehicle includes a pleated panel and a pull cord assembly configured to move the panel from a retracted position to an extended position when pulled and to automatically return the panel to the retracted position when released. A first fastening assembly detachably secures an edge of the panel to the vehicle near a first edge of the opening, and a second fastening assembly is provided for detachably securing the opposite edge of the panel to the vehicle near a second edge of the opening opposite the first edge when the panel is in the retracted position.
