Abstract: A tonneau cover assembly with a top cover connected to a cable tensioning system that eliminates the need for side rails to both locate and tension the top cover. The cable tension system seals out environmental elements and holds the tonneau cover and fabric management bows of the assembly in place. The assembly includes a front attachment assembly and rear attachment assembly connected to cables, where the front attachment provides a forward mounting location and seals a front bow to the vehicle. The rear attachment assembly holds the top cover in a closed tensioned state until the cover is opened by an operator. The tonneau cover assembly reduces weight and complexity, while eliminating the need for side rails.

Abstract: A multi-piece hardtop (1) for a sport utility vehicle (4). The hardtop (1) has a front roof section (3) with a storage tray (7) mounted on it and a rear roof section (5) with a storage tray (9) on it. In use, the front roof section (3) and its storage tray (7) can be arranged in a first position over the front or cockpit area (2) to enclose the vehicle (4). Additionally, the front roof section (3) and its storage tray (7) can be completely removed from the vehicle (4) and mounted in a second position over the rear roof section (5) and its storage tray (9). In the second position, the vehicle occupants can enjoy an open air experience with the front and rear storage trays (7,9) and roof sections (3,5) being stacked in a neat and compact manner on the vehicle (4).

Abstract: A roof rack for a sport utility vehicle. The rack includes a main frame attached to the vehicle and a plurality of rack portions or cross pieces pivotally mounted to the main frame. In use, the rack portions with the gear or carrying trays supported on them can be pivoted to one side of the vehicle and out of the path of the normal movement of the vehicle top including any sunroof. The top or sun roof can then be easily and quickly moved as intended between its open and closed positions without having to unload and reload the stored gear or other items.
