The cover is constructed of an antimicrobial foam material having a thickness of no less than a quarter of an inch to provide optimal protection against hail. A dual mode of fastening ensures both easy and secure fitting of the cover to the vehicle body. Firstly, a series of suction cups is arrayed upon the cover's underside. This method provides a secure and adaptable means of fastening which is passive from an installation perspective, allowing a user to quickly and easy secure the cover, regardless of the vehicle geometry. Secondly, rope fasteners are affixed to the cover around a periphery, such that if the user wants a redundant or more secure fastening mechanism (especially in the event of high winds), the ropes may be tied to the spokes of the vehicle wheels.
