Holden Lifts The Lid On Workhorse Accessories

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA – May 23, 2011: Holden is enhancing the form and function of its popular VE Series II Ute range with a new three-piece hard tonneau cover.

The genuine Holden accessory will be offered on all Ute models and will complement the wide range of existing options available on the famous Aussie workhorse.

Covered by Holden's three-year 100,000km warranty, the tonneau cover incorporates a unique polished aluminium sports bar with high mounted stop lamp, a remote locking system integrated into the vehicle key fob and lift assistance via two gas struts.

The high quality body coloured tonneau is manufactured from a tough polycarbonate and also has a convenient quick release pin to easily remove the hard cover if required.

As with all Holden genuine hard tonneaus, it has endured rigorous testing including slam tests, impact resistance, durability and environmental exposure to ensure the finished product meets stringent original equipment quality standards.

Holden Executive Director of Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, John Elsworth said hard tonneau covers had become a ‘must-have’ accessory for any well dressed Holden Ute.

“We think this accessory will prove to be really popular, particularly with our sports Ute buyers who take great pride in the presentation of their vehicles,” Mr Elsworth said.

"The new three-piece hard tonneau has been designed specifically for the VE Ute, so it looks fantastic, provides security for cargo and as with any Genuine Holden Accessory it's been extensively tested."

RRP for the new three-piece hard tonneau cover is $3,600 fitted - including the Sportsbar and is available now in all Ute colours through Holden dealers.
