Tonneau cover

Post by AndriesS »

Does the GRX come with a Tonneau cover to keep prying eyes at bay? Has anyone made one?

Already done by previous owner, problem is that if someone has the time they probably still can check(cupping hands) what is in the back during the day (i.e mall parking or worse parking outside in sunlight)

John, I know a few guys who've put a second layer of tinting on. Very dark, can't see in, only out, but don't like it because impairs viz at nights.

I've got one of those big black light-weight lidded crates you can buy at Plastics for Africa, that travels in the boot. Good for hiding stuff from prying eyes.

Oh, and I have a "dog protector blanket" that ties to the rear headrest and goes down and lines the boot. Hides the compressor, first-aid kit and recovery gear that lives behind the 2nd row of seats

I made one about two years ago for my TD42 GL. I made a "foldable" option...so that it fits snug and doesn't rattle around too much. I can take some pics if you want? Lol...sorry for the extreme delay in seeing this! I'm pretty certain the shape in the back is the same....

Anyone found anything by way of tonneau covers for the GRX since these 2010 posts?
