A telescoping truck bed shell is disclosed herein. The truck bed shell is capable of being retracted so that the user can have full access to the truck bed and also extended so that the user can have a protected volume at the truck bed in order to store things. The telescoping truck bed has traversable frames and a traversable cover wherein the frames and cover may be traversed between extended and retracted positions depending on whether the truck bed shell is being deployed or stored.

A pickup truck cap having bendable plastic side panels having a bottom side located along a respective riser installed on each pickup truck cargo bed side wall. The side panels are each engaged by a curved respective guide located adjacent each end of each side panel to conform each side panel to curvature of an associated guide. An upper side of each side panel is received beneath a rectangular top assembly included in the cap. Either of side panels are movable upwardly to raise the bottom side thereof up from a respective riser to create an access opening beneath a raised side panel along each side of the cap. A pair of movable side panels can also be arranged to close off access through a cover installed on the cargo bed of a pickup truck.

There is provided herein improvements in deployable canopies for utility vehicles having a cabin and a cargo bay. According to one aspect, the system comprises a deployable canopy which has a roof portion and rearward columns extending downwardly therefrom. The roof portion slides along cabin roof tracks and the columns slide along cargo bay edge tracks longitudinally from stowed to deployed positions for selectively enclosing the canopy bay. The deployable canopy may stow side panels horizontally therein, which when the canopy is deployed, the side panels slide therefrom transitioning from horizontally to vertically, typically under automatic mechanical actuator control, using an arrangement of tracks. According to another aspect, the system has a removable cassette that selectively engages longitudinally between forward and rearward builder bars and have longitudinal lateral openings from which side covers unfurl slide within builder bars tracks.

A configurable common deck system includes a support frame, and a plurality of decking planks. The support frame is configured to attach to the original equipment (OE) chassis of a vehicle. The plurality of decking planks is configured to cover the support frame to create a deck. Wherein, the deck has a customizable size with a length, a width and a height.

A cover for a truck bed that can be horizontally traversed between expanded and collapsed positions is shown. Since the cover is horizontally traversed, the person manipulating the cover need not lift the cover vertically in order to reconfigure the cover between the expanded and collapsed positions. Women and elderly people who are generally not as strong as men can manipulate the cover.

A retractable sliding/folding slanted back soft top assembly for 4-door and 2-door SUVs. A fabric cover is supported by a frame that is at least partially articulatable from at least a closed position to an open air position. The frame includes at least one forward fabric support bow member and at least one rearward fabric support bow member. The rear fabric support bow member being positioned when in the closed position in a manner which allows the fabric to clear a sport bar or roll bar member of a vehicle in the closed position such that a rear portion of the top is angled from the vertical when viewing the vehicle from the side.

A vehicle convertible system include left and right side rails extending in a vehicle length direction and defining a roof opening, and a roof member covering the roof opening. The roof member includes a frame, an outer cover attached to the frame, and a headliner including a cover attached to an underside of the frame. A linkage connected to the roof member moves the roof member between a closed condition and a stowed condition. A retractor attached to the roof member is connected to lateral side portions of the headliner cover. The retractor is operable by movement of the linkage. The retractor moves the lateral side portions between a covering position which conceals the linkage in the closed condition of the roof member and a retracted position inwardly of the side rails to provide clearance for the linkage as the roof member is moved to the stowed position.
