One embodiment of the invention is a cover for the deck of a utility vehicle, wherein the cover is formed from a single shell of thermoplastics material and reinforced with an extrusion which, by virtue of being formed in aluminium, has a lower co-efficient of expansion relative to the shell. The two parts of the cover, shell and extrusion, are secured in such a way that there can be some degree of independent movement between them. Effectively, limited thermal expansion of the shell is allowed without overly compromising the connection between it and the aluminium extrusion. Another invention described herein also relates to a cover for the deck of a utility vehicle wherein the cover is connected to the utility vehicle at one end by way of a flexible extrusion which acts as a hinge such that as it is raised, it is not only displaced in a vertical orientation but also in a horizontal direction as well.
