ARE Tonneau Cover Handle

thingiverse

I shattered the handle on my ARE tonneau cover and endured a simple metal handle for nearly a year before acquiring a 3D printer. The replacement from ARE cost around $50. I took precise measurements and designed this handle and label entirely from scratch. I own the ARE LSX Ultra model tonneau cover, but hopefully ARE employs the same handle across all its models. Once you secure the handle to the knob and tighten it down, you can affix the label in place, though the label might require some sanding to fit snugly within the handle's recessed area. I've included a label featuring the ARE logo, yet I designed my own with the name of my college team on it (as visible in the attached picture). For optimal visibility, you can easily paint the top of the logo. Considering this handle sometimes experiences considerable force, I recommend setting your print settings to a minimum wall thickness of 2 mm.
