Abstract: A sports bar storage compartment assembly including a storage compartment, wherein the storage compartment includes a storage compartment wall defining a first side, a second side, a top and a bottom. An opening is defined in the storage compartment wall at the first side of the compartment. In addition, the storage compartment is connected to a support shelf of a first attachment bracket, wherein the first attachment bracket is positioned near the first side of the storage compartment adjacent to the opening. A door is connected to the first attachment bracket and conceals the opening when in a closed position.

Abstract: Disclosed are vehicle storage containers, methods for making and methods for using vehicle storage containers, and motor vehicles with utility storage containers. Disclosed, for example, is a utility storage container for a motor vehicle. The utility storage container includes a container basin that attaches to the vehicle body and stows within the vehicle's cargo compartment. The container basin includes multiple sidewalls projecting from a base to cooperatively define a basin opening. An articulated door assembly includes a first door segment pivotably coupled to the container basin to transition the door assembly between a closed position, whereat the door segments cooperatively cover the basin opening, and a full-open position, whereat the door segments uncover the opening. A second door segment is pivotably coupled to the first door segment to transition the door assembly between the closed position and a half-open position, whereat the second door segment partially uncovers the basin opening.

Abstract: A number of variations may include a vehicle which may have a bed portion and a bed rail cap assembly operably coupled to the bed portion. The bed rail cap assembly may include at least one extruded beam having a plurality of T-slot profiles. Additionally, the bed rail cap assembly may be constructed and arranged to match a contour of the bed portion.
