A video of what? You slide them in and slide them out. They fit in the gear tunnel. I had to figure out in which order each panel fit best for my truck. First attempt my tail gate was off a touch on the drivers side when closed. Removed and replaced in a different order and it worked perfectly. I marked them so I would know which order to install them. When the tailgate is closed, they are very solid. This is the best solution for me. I thought it would bother me taking out the panels, but I really rarely need to take them out to put stuff in the back. The bed is not that big. The truck seems complete with a tonneau cover on it.

They didn't even label the order in which panels would go in? No pull cord attached to the panels so you can pull them out all together? Are they real carbon fiber panels? Tongue and groove? No info whatsoever!

This is the info we need!

I now know why your handle is windblow. The panels are all the same size. (Approximately). I thought I would share this with the forum members. I think this is an option other than the soft cover EV1 is producing. I prefer the hard cover to the soft. You can contact the seller with your question. Just so you know you can pull out all 3 panels from the side of your truck. Unless your to short.

Video of precisely that...

Thanks for sharing, OP. Your truck looks awesome!

PPF on the front, ceramic coating, windows and windshield tinted. Twraps mud flaps, smart liners , folding panoramic sun roof shade (amazon) , Tail Lidz carbon fiber tonneau cover. Tonneau cover fits perfectly. Waiting for Team 1Ev running boards and would like a bed rug.

I was just thinking the other day somebody needed to design a Carbon Fiber Tonneau Cover for the R1T!

Does it keep your bed dry in rain/snow?

This is the factory looking solution we’ve been waiting for and likely made of better materials! It looks great and sounds like it functions exactly how Rivians phantom manual cover would… Great looking truck!!!

God bless America!! If these things are water-tight and slide well with some degree of robustness and are truly carbon panels, they will sell like wild fire.

The weblink does not inspire confidence for me. At the price of 1k with a delay to make a custom order, I'll continue waiting for more reviews and other possible options.

But OP's truck does look good, so I'll be watching.

The spartan website doesn't bother me. The fabricator could be exceptionally talented, but have no understanding of how to make a proper website. For me, that's not a big deal. However, I do think there should be more information on the materials, a video of how it functions, and an email address connecting with someone who can answer questions.

Regardless, I am happy to see more attractive options available. As others have mentioned, the tail lidz tonneau looks great on OP's truck.

The recent uptick in tonneau discussion, and ingenuity, has me hopeful that Rivian understand how important it is to produce working tonneau covers for their existing, and prospective, customers.

I haven’t been in the rain or snow yet. Just received them Friday February 23. I’ll let you know when It happens. Thanks.

I took a chance ordering the tonneau cover. I had faith my credit card company would take care of problems if needed. I’m glad I did it. I emailed to see what the lead time was and Brian got right back to me. Here’s his info if you want to contact him and share info with the forum. mailto:[email protected]

Thanks

Tonneau looks great. A quick google search based on what you called it and I found nothing. We need more details.

If you have questions please contact Brian at Tail Lidz. [email protected].
