Abstract
Presented is a retractable substantially full passenger cab height cover for vehicle rear portions that renders the vehicle's rear portion open to transport cargo when the full cab height cover is retracted and covered at a full, or nearly so, passenger cab height when the full cab height cover is extended. It has application to all manner of vehicles such as pickup trucks or sport utility vehicles (SUV's) and may be designed in and sold as original factory equipment or sold as an aftermarket product. It is possible, by use of a fold down first tailgate disposed between the passenger cab and the rear portion of the vehicle and fold down rear passenger seat elements to have a very lengthy distance, from a second tailgate at the rear of the vehicle to just behind the driver's seat, for extra passenger seating, storage of cargo, carrying of small boats, or the like. A further refinement includes a multi-system sealing system disposed between elements of the retractable cargo bed cover.
