Abstract: A cover for a truck tailgate has a top panel for spanning the top edge of the tailgate, an inner panel joined with the top panel for spanning the inner side of the tailgate, an outer panel joined with the top panel for spanning the outer side of the tailgate, a bottom panel joined with the outer panel for spanning the bottom edge of the tailgate, and an overlap panel joined with the bottom panel for connection with the bottom of the inner panel. Mating hook and loop fasteners are arranged to connect the interior of the inner panel to the exterior of the overlap panel such that the overlap panel is overlapped by the inner panel. End panels join the inner and outer panels at opposing ends of the top panel so as to form a pocket that receives the top edge of the tailgate therein.
