Manual tonneau cover installed on my R1T 🔧

I got mine yesterday afternoon. First clue was an email from UPS two days before delivery. Email said package from Rivian.

Awesome!!

Can you tell us if the panels are some sort of plastic or are they aluminum or a combination of the two (metal top/plastic underside)?

 

[NoGoingBack]

I’ll second that AWESOME!
We need Details please!

YES, por favor more details..heck "run" your water hose on it for a while. What happens? haha THX!!

Looks like it is all metal except for the plastic end pieces that slide into the guides on the sides of the bed. Since it is dark I needed gloves to handle the panels since they were sitting in the sun and got pretty hot. Score +1 for the automated tonneau cover.

^ great!

Thank you...


Hopefully they (or their supplier) can make up several thousand of these bad boys quickly and get them shipped out chop-chop!

I maybe need to run a hose on it to cool it down to touch it. (ha ha). It's sitting in the sun and it's not particularly hot today maybe low 70's.

Did you hear that accessory makers! Put Gary themed oven mitts on the production schedule!

I'm going to need to keep a pair of gloves in the bed.

But these will never get jammed leaving you with a partially covered bed.. so score +1 for the manual tonneau

Congrats! Do you have an earlier build/delivery? Just wondering if there's some sense of how Rivian is sending these out. Perhaps region is a factor? Who knows? Regardless, congrats and thanks for posting photos!

This is what I'm most interested in as well - and MORE pics!

Ordered it with the truck end of March.

Really curious if they’re going by VIN
