Keep it all under cover
A new, easy-to-use cover for utes that doesn't require holes drilled into the bodywork will be taking pride of place on the Toyota, Isuzu and Volkswagen vehicles at this year's National Fieldays.
Removable ribs inside the cover keep it taut, providing a smart and attractive appearance, and keeping the weather at bay, says John Frear, the company’s sales and marketing manager.
The cover simply rolls up when the ribs are removed and stored behind the cab for loading or transporting tall or bulky items. Elastic straps keep the rolled up cover tightly in place while driving. The material used is a heavy-duty vinyl, which still retains its soft feel, even though it is tough.
“The new cover combines the flexibility of traditional fabric covers, but without the need to drill unsightly holes in the side of the vehicle to install hooks for bungy cords,” Frear says.
“The frame holds the cover firmly in place and it’s easy to unclip and roll back to allow access to the full cargo space, while the supporting frame prevents stretching or wear.
“Installation is a breeze for ‘under rail’ liners and only minor modifications needing to be made to the liner if they are the ‘over rail’ type.”
