A tonneau cover system includes a plurality of panels coupled to first and second side rails. The panels include a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, and a spacer bar with the spacer bar fixed to the side rails. The first panel pivots relative to the spacer while the spacer remains fixed to the side rails. The third panel pivots relative to the second panel to permit the third panel to belocated over the second panel while the spacer remains fixed to the side rails to define an intermediate folded position. The cover further includes a hinge assembly mounted between the second paneland the spacer to enable the second and third panels to pivot relative to the spacer as a unit from the intermediate position to a final position located at least over the spacer bar while the spacerbar remains fixed to the side rails. 一种后箱盖系统包括耦接到第一侧轨和第二侧轨的多个面板。面板包括第一面板、第二面板、第三面板和间隔条，其中间隔条固定到侧轨。第一面板相对于间隔件枢转，同时间隔件保持固定到侧轨。第三面板相对于第二面板枢转，以允许第三面板位于第二面板上方，同时间隔件保持固定到侧轨以限定中间折叠位置。盖还包括安装在第二面板和间隔件之间的铰链组件，以使第二面板和第三面板能够作为整体相对于间隔件从中间位置
