ABSTRACT:
A tailgate cover for a pickup truck consists of a flap running along the tailgate gap and hingedly connected to the end of the bed. When the tailgate is open, the flap has one edge flush with the end of the bed and the other edge overlapping the bottom of the gate. When the gate is closed, the flap is rotated around its hinges such that the edge overlapping the gate is pushed upward and the edge facing the bed is correspondingly flipped downward within the gap. As a result of this configuration, the flap covers the tailgate gap at all times and produces a level surface with the truck bed when the gate is lowered.
