Dickey/Dickie Seat

[edit]

How does a "Tonneau" relate to a dickey-seat, dickie-seat + other spellings?? Are they the same thing??

Full cockpit tonneau

[edit]

One need not go back to the classic British cars to find a full cockpit tonneau cover. My 1994 Miata has one. It was a factory option. I assume it is still available for the current models. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doc1062 (talkcontribs) 13:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mileage myth?

[edit]

The 2 paragraphs in the Myth section do not agree well about the mileage improvement, and the 2nd paragraph's reference does not seem to show the referenced facts, and is a commercial site that sells the product. The following site has an interesting article and discussion on the small mileage improvement: http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/2007/07/30/the-tonneau-cover-fuel-economy-myth/.

The Benefits section ends with "Increased fuel mileage: Engineering studies have demonstrated a significant reduction in drag coefficient..." which sounds directly contradictory to the Myth section. Reading the Tundraheadquarters link above, both might be true - drag does reduce but mileage improvement is negligible at speeds <60mph, significant at >80mph. Reading the Mythbusters link, they tested gas flow @ 55mph, with no measurable improvement, which is consistent. If so it should be clarified. I'm refraining from editing because I'm no expert (can't even tell if these are good sources..) Cbensf (talk) 10:39, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hatchback tonneau

[edit]

The covers used to block the view of a hatchback's storage compartment through the rear window are also referred to as tonneaus, at least by some manufacturers. These are distinct from the truck and convertible tonneaus in that they are located inside the vehicle. Examples from Subaru and Mazda: https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/sku/65550fj001vh.html and https://www.mazda-parts.com/oem-parts/mazda-cargo-cover-d10e6831002 Truehatch (talk) 20:45, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
