Abstract: A tonneau cover has rectangular elements pivotally connected together. An automatic latch can be coupled to a first rectangular element end of one of the rectangular elements. A latch actuator can extend from the automatic latch to a first latch-rearward rectangular element. The first latch rearward element can be rearward of the first rectangular element end. Movement of the first latch-rearward rectangular element relative to the first rectangular element end, as the tonneau cover moves between closed and open positions, can move the latch actuator which moves the first automatic latch between the latched and unlatched configurations, respectively.
