Ute Soft Tonneau Covers Perth
Convenient Soft Covers for Your Ute Tray

For a quick, affordable way to cover your ute’s tray, you can’t beat a soft tonneau cover. Coastals 4×4 supplies and installs soft ute covers in Perth to suit virtually every dual-cab, extra-cab, or single-cab ute on the market. These vinyl tonneau covers keep your cargo protected from the elements and prying eyes, while giving your ute a neat, streamlined look. Modern soft covers are easy to use – most feature elastic rope or clip systems for fast removal, and some even have clever no-drill clamp designs. If you use your tray frequently for varying loads, a soft cover offers the flexibility to uncover in seconds and refit just as quickly. It’s the classic ute accessory that’s practical and good-looking.

Our Tonneau Cover Range

We can source soft tonneau covers for all popular utes: Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara, Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50, Holden Colorado – you name it. Options include:

  • Bungee Cord Tonneaus: The traditional style with a perimeter rope and a series of small bunji loops that hook onto buttons along your tub. These are tried-and-true: simple design, adjustable tension, and easy to replace a loop if it ever breaks. Installation involves rivetting small studs around the tub (if not already present) – something our team does with precise measurement so it’s taut and tidy. The advantage of this style is cost-effectiveness and simplicity. You can even partially open them from one side to retrieve something without removing entirely.
  • Clip-On (Ridge) Tonneaus: Many newer utes use clip-on covers that have a sewn-in plastic or alloy strip edging which clips into a rail on the inside of the tub. They often incorporate support bars (to prevent water pooling) and sometimes gas struts at the tailgate end for semi-rigid opening. We provide top brands like Tuf Tonneaus and EGR which use this system. These give a very flush finish – no external buttons – and typically no drilling is needed as they clamp to the tub lip. They’re a bit more premium and often specific per model (to align with factory sports bars, etc.). We ensure correct fitment, adjusting the tension so the cover isn’t overly tight or saggy.
  • Tailored for Sports Bars or Ladder Racks: If your ute has a factory sports bar or aftermarket ladder rack, we get tonneaus with the appropriate cut-outs or Velcro closings around those structures. For example, a Hilux with a genuine sports bar can still have a soft cover – it will have slots for the uprights and seal around them. We double-check these measurements and any required hardware (like a bracket to secure the front of the cover around a bar). Rest assured, whatever configuration your ute is in, we’ll supply a cover that fits like a glove.

Benefits of Soft Ute Covers Perth

While not as hardcore as a hard lid, soft tonneaus have many merits:

  • Quick Flexibility: Need to carry a tall load – say a fridge or a pile of dirt? Simply remove or roll up the soft cover and you have full open-tub utility. When done, you can put it back on to cover smaller loads or empty tub. They weigh next to nothing and can even be stowed behind your seat or in the garage when not needed. Hard lids and canopies can’t match that quick transformation.

  • Cost-Effective Protection: Soft covers are generally a fraction of the cost of hard covers or canopies. They still provide protection from rain and sun for your gear, and keep casual eyes from seeing what’s in the tray. For many ute owners who mainly want to hide luggage or keep leaves out of the tray, a vinyl cover does the job without breaking the bank. Today’s materials are UV-stable and long-lasting – it will stay looking good for years with a little care (like occasional vinyl protectant spray).

  • Improved Fuel Economy: By covering the tub, soft tonneaus can reduce air drag compared to an open tub (some sources claim 5-10% better economy at highway speeds). Whether the saving is big or small, the cover will at least prevent the parachute effect of an open tub catching air. Plus it keeps your tub clean from dust and debris swirling in.

  • Sleek Look: A flush-fitted black tonneau gives your ute a clean, finished appearance. It preserves the utility look rather than drastically changing it (as a canopy would). If you prefer your ute to look like a ute – just a bit sharper – a soft cover is ideal. No wonder many ute owners in Perth choose them to complement the style of their vehicle.

Installation by Coastals 4x4

Fitting a soft tonneau may seem straightforward, but to do it right (especially drilling and rivetting buttons) requires a practiced hand. Our approach:

  • For bunji-type covers, we measure and mark out exact, evenly spaced positions for each button using templates. We use proper drill stops to avoid going too deep, and we rivet the buttons securely without crushing the tub metal. The result is a factory-style layout that keeps the cover uniformly tight.

  • We install any required framing, such as aluminum support rails at the front or middle of the tub to support the cover, as per the kit instructions. This prevents that telltale “sag” in the middle where water can collect. Many covers include removable bows – we place them and demonstrate how to use them effectively.

  • Clip-on covers often come with an alloy rail that clamps under the tub lip. We align these precisely and tighten incrementally so as not to damage paint. The cover is then attached and adjusted. If tension needs tweaking, we do so (some have adjustable cleats or Velcro strips to fine-tune the tightness).

  • We check tailgate operation with the cover on – some covers allow the tailgate to open/close without removing the cover, others require undoing it first. We make sure you know the proper procedure so you don’t accidentally stress or tear the cover.

  • Finally, we’ll go over maintenance: keeping the cover clean (just soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals), using tonneau protectant spray to keep it supple, and how to deal with any shrink/stretch (most vinyl can be left in sun to stretch a bit if it’s too tight on a cold day, etc.).

We often hear from customers how much they appreciate the convenience of their new soft cover – the days of unpacking a drenched toolbox or having stuff blow out on the freeway are over.

If you’re looking for an affordable, practical way to cover your ute’s tray, a soft tonneau cover is the answer.
