Abstract
A tonneau cover including a core panel having a first panel surface, a second panel surface, and a perimeter. An upper film is bonded to the first panel surface. A lower film is bonded to the second panel surface. The tonneau cover has a first section, a second section, and a flexible hinge separating the first and second sections. The tonneau cover is foldable between a deployed arrangement where the first section and the second section are generally planar for covering the cargo box, and a folded arrangement where the first section and the second section are stacked for allowing access to the cargo box. The tonneau cover has a first thickness at the first section and the second section, and a second thickness at the flexible hinge. The second thickness is less than the first thickness.
