Ash Cover
This invention is a cover on the windows that would hook to the interior of the door frame. You can leave the window down about 3/4 of the way leaving a small gap when the window is open.
You can then flick the ash out of the car, and not get it all over the place in the back, on the seats, or carpets. As all smokers know it makes a terrible mess. The free flowing ash goes everywhere when flicking it out of an open window.
The cover would be a small mesh type material, that would still let air get through it and not be blown around when the window is open. It needs holes to stop that, and it could be made so as to be rolled up and down.
When not in use, it can be rolled up, so as not to get in the way. It would only be pulled down when needed. It can also be used on any other windows to keep the ash out of any vehicle.
