A retractable cover assembly is provided for a vehicle to cover a latching component such as the striker of a trunk door. The assembly includes a retractable cover and a support structure for supporting the cover at a position to cover the striker. The assembly further includes an arrangement for actuating the cover between an open position exposing the striker and a closed position covering the striker. A first light source may illuminate the cover and a second light source may illuminate an interior of the vehicle when the cover is in the closed position.

A tonneau cover for a vehicle storage area includes a retractable screen that extends from a housing to define extended and retracted positions. A handle assembly is coupled to an outer edge of the retractable screen and has an expandable base that defines a collapsed position proximate the retractable screen and an expanded position that defines a storage volume.
