ABSTRACT:
A tonneau cover for use on a vehicle bed can have a multilayer construction. The multilayer tonneau cover can include an upper layer and a reinforcing layer. The tonneau cover can also have a lower layer. The reinforcing layer can include a reinforcing beam to reduce the potential for cracking of the upper layer. The reinforcing beam can be elongate and non-intersecting along its path.
