Bed screen cover for vault ventilation (for sleeping / camping)

[ModelCYBR]

Cool idea. Most local hardware stores can make these so you can save on shipping. Or DIY the parts too

Had this window screen made at https://www.metroscreenworks.com/ for ventilating the bed. 58.5" x 12". Came out great.

What did you select for the hardware selection? Or perhaps it isn't necessary if the size fit the tracks.

There have been a few reported problems with vault track and button as well as tailgate malfunctions.

If that thing closes on you, you're fkd

There is a panel on the inside panel of the rear gate that hides a physical pull latch to open the gate if trapped inside the vault.

Good to know. I was thinking the vault cover is so tuff, might as well be iron bars if one was to get trapped

You must think Tesla has really stupid engineering, and they hold the safety of their customers in low regard by thumbing their noses at federal motor vehicle safety standards designed to prevent the trapping of people inside trunks and cabins. Maybe you are confusing Tesla with another truck maker who decided to not offer a factory-installed tonneau cover, so they can save a few bucks by not equipping their trucks with emergency tailgate releases.

No, that's not Tesla. But, yes, from what I could see, it would be pretty hard to break into the vault from the exterior of the truck, without making an obvious scene, one of its best features.

can you fanboy less. It's nauseating

You don't like to get caught at your own game, I get it. What I find nauseating is people who try to come up with reasons why a superior solution is dangerous, without knowing what they are talking about. Or maybe you just don't care if it's accurate or not.

Just put me on ignore and quit your bellyaching.

I love this accessory. There was some other company in this forum soliciting for ideas. Vault bug screen was my top request. It’ll make summer camping so memorable. You can sleep under stars without worrying about bugs or snakes or rodents or quarks gas or any source of gas ?. If we can have a rolling bug screen, that’s even better. It's an inconvenience to take out fixed screen panels and store them when you want to get in and out, but there is some advantage of more stability and safety with fixed panels.

joking aside about off gassing quarks, whatever's in the sub trunk (not sure if it's the dividers or some material intrinsic to the sub trunk like the well or part of the lid or what) is still off gassing to high hell on mine, a few months after delivery. it really stinks.

same here. Still reeks something awful. Smells up my whole garage after being closed in overnight.

Ha. I’m in the small garage club and my truck doesn’t fit inside whatsoever!

With the tonneau cover open, or closed... it is reported to leak? This solution is not for bad weather.. right?

Not necessary. No hardware.
