  • Vehicle rear cargo area structure
    Patent number: 9987990
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure defines a cargo area. With a rear door in a closed orientation the rear door blocks access to the cargo area.

A first cover is supported within the vehicle body structure above and spaced apart from a floor proximate a forward end of the cargo area. The first cover is movable between a retracted orientation exposing the cargo area and an extended orientation at least partially concealing the cargo area. A second cover is attached to the rear door along an interior surface thereof such that with the rear door in the closed orientation and the first cover in the extended orientation, the first cover abuts the second cover such that the first cover and the second cover conceal the cargo area.
