, the filing details a way of storing Gladiator roof panels on a hard tonneau cover, which in turn would sit over the bed and create covered storage space.
According to the document, roof panels could be arranged on the tonneau cover and locked in place using a rotating lever. All pieces will fit within the footprint of the bed, the document shows.Use of the bed means this setup is unique to the Gladiator, so Wrangler owners would still have to find alternative ways of stowing panels if they decide to do some open-air driving.
