Sun shade apparatus for a vehicle includes a canopy housing and an elongated canopy which is retractable into the housing and extendable from the housing over the roof of a vehicle. Support stands positionable on the vehicle roof serve to engage the canopy while holding it away from the roof when the canopy is extended over the roof. Each of the support stands includes a canopy hook for releasably engaging the canopy. The hooks may be made moveable between an unlatched position facilitating engagement and disengagement with the canopy and a latched position securing the canopy.

I claim: 1. Sun shade apparatus for a vehicle, said vehicle comprising a vehicle body with a roof, front and rear roll down windows on opposed sides of the vehicle, a storage trunk, and a trunk latch for holding said trunk in a closed position, said apparatus comprising: (a) a canopy housing; (b) an elongated sun shade canopy retractable within said housing and extendable from said housing to an extended position over said roof; and, (c) a first pair of support stands positionable on said roof in a forward position for holding said canopy away from said roof when said canopy is extended over said roof, and a first strap extendable through said first pair of support stands for strapping said first pair of support stands to said roof in said forward position; and, (d) a second pair of support stands positionable on said roof in a rearward position for holding said canopy away from said roof when said canopy is extended over said roof, and a second strap extendable through said second pair of support stands for strapping said second pair of support stands to said roof in said rearward position, wherein each of said support stands comprises a canopy hook for releasably engaging said canopy when said canopy is extended over said roof, and wherein said canopy includes a first plurality of openings spaced along a first side region of said canopy and a second plurality of openings spaced along a second side region of said canopy, each of said canopy hooks being engageable with a selected one of said openings. 2. Apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein said canopy hooks are moveable from an unlatched position facilitating engagement and disengagement with said canopy and a latched position securing said canopy. 3. Apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said straps has opposed ends releasably couplable with each other and a length sufficient to form a continuous loop which extends above said roof between opposed sides of said vehicle then below said roof through window openings resulting when said windows are rolled down. 4. Apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein: (a) said housing is mountable within said trunk; (b) said canopy includes an opening permitting passage of said trunk latch through the canopy when said trunk is closed and said canopy is extended outwardly from said trunk and over said roof; and, (c) said apparatus further includes: (i) a plurality of elastic ropes, each secured at one end to a forward end of said canopy; and, (ii) a corresponding plurality of body hooks, each secured to an opposed end of an associated one of said ropes, and each engageable with said vehicle body. 5. Apparatus as defined in claim 4, wherein said canopy hooks are moveable from an unlatched position facilitating engagement and disengagement with said canopy and a latched position securing said canopy. 6. Apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said support stands further comprises: (a) a stand housing comprising a housing base, a containment wall, and a cap together defining a containment region, said canopy hook associated with the stand including a stem extending upwardly from the containment region from a base of said hook through an opening in said cap; (b) a flange extending outwardly from said stem; and, (c) a spring contained within said housing, said base of said hook being carried by an upper end of said spring, said hook being moveable upwardly and downwardly between: (i) an upper position where both said stem and said flange extend upwardly through said opening in said cap, and where rotation of said canopy hook relative to said support stand is restrained by engagement between said flange and said cap; and, (ii) a lower position where said flange is fully contained within said containment region, said hook then being rotatable relative to said stand to an angular position where upward movement of said canopy hook is restrained by engagement between said flange and said cap. 7. Apparatus as defined in claim 6, wherein said housing base of each support stand includes an opening sized to receiving one of said straps through the opening.
