Abstract
A track cover system for use with a vehicle having a track includes first and second cover elements adapted to be attached to the vehicle such that the cover elements are disposed on opposite sides of the track. Furthermore, the cover elements are engageable with each other. The track cover system also includes a slider that is slidably engageable with the cover elements for engaging the cover elements together to thereby cover at least a portion of the track. The track cover system of the invention therefore inhibits dust, dirt, moisture and/or other debris from collecting in the track.
