Achieving a grain in a thermoformed part that matches the same grain produced by injection molding resulted in an improved appearance with the tonneau cover harmonizing with other thermoformed and injection molded parts on the vehicle. It also enabled a $300/truck savings by enabling an aluminum honeycomb (in the previous vehicle design) to be replaced with a steel bar design. A new scratch resistant thermoformable TPO helped to make this possible.
