A retractable, self-supporting cover assembly is provided for use in motor vehicles to cover a luggage compartment in an extended configuration and, when retracted, to provide ready access to the luggage compartment. The retractable cover assembly has a retractable cover 1, a retractable supporting body 2, 2, motive means (8, figure 2), such as a motor powered by the vehicle battery, to move the retractable supporting body and/or cover between an extended position and a retracted position and a housing 3 adapted to receive and store the retractable cover and the retractable supporting body. The cover is supported by the retractable supporting body so that it is self-supporting without any need for support rails or engagement lugs. The retractable cover may be remotely controlled, in which remote activation may be as a result of the opening/closing of a luggage door, a control member located on a key or key fob, or by means of an app on a mobile telephone.
