Claim:
A window covering configured for attachment to a window frame of a vehicle to at least partially cover an opening defined in the window frame, the window covering comprising: a casing including a first member having a first outer member surface and a second member having a second outer member surface extending in spaced relationship to the first member to define a hole therebetween; wherein the first outer member surface of the first member defines a first channel and the second outer member surface of the second member defines a second channel, facing in a generally opposite direction from the first channel; a panel operatively attached to each of the first member and the second member and covering the hole; a first magnet and a second magnet; wherein the first and second magnets each present an outer magnet surface; the first magnet disposed in the first channel of the first member such that the outer magnet surface is generally coplanar with the first outer member surface; and the second magnet disposed in the second channel of the second member such that the outer magnet surface is generally coplanar with the second outer member surface; wherein the outer magnet surface of each of the first and second magnets are generally coplanar with the respective first and second outer member surfaces; wherein the first and second magnets are configured to be magnetically attached to the window frame at the respective outer magnet surface; wherein the panel extends about each of the first member and the second member and covers the first and second magnets such that the panel is disposed between each of the first and second magnets and the window frame when the covering is attached to the window frame of the vehicle; wherein each of the first magnet and the second magnet is a permanent magnet; and wherein each of the first magnet and the second magnet are configured to exert a pull force sufficient to retain the window covering to the window frame of the vehicle such that the casing of the window covering does not move relative to the window frame during motion of the vehicle.
