Abstract:
A shroud for a truck bed tailgate may have a set of platens adapted for engagement with a pick-up truck having truck bed, and a tailgate pivotable about a tailgate pivot axis. The set of platens may have a first platen adapted to be fixedly engaged with the truck bed, the first platen defining a hinge cover pivot axis parallel to the tailgate pivot axis. The shroud may further have a hinge cover, the hinge cover being rotatably engaged with the first platen to rotate about the hinge cover pivot axis between a first orientation wherein it extends over the elongated tailgate clearance gap, and a second orientation wherein it is clear of the tailgate when the tailgate is in the closed position.
