As used herein, the term “Side Support Structure” refers to one or more components, members, interfaces, supports, assemblies, structures, and/or combinations thereof associated with, positioned toward, extending along, or otherwise corresponding to a side or side region and configured to directly or indirectly support, position, retain, guide, couple, constrain, carry, or facilitate movement of one or more other components or structures. A side support structure may include a single component or a plurality of interconnected, cooperating, adjacent, and/or spatially separated components and need not be located entirely at the side, extend continuously along the side, or form an exterior boundary. A side support structure may be formed as a separate structure, incorporated into another component or assembly, or defined physically, geometrically, or functionally as a portion of a unitary or integrated structure without a visible or separable boundary. All or part of a side support structure may also form or function as all or part of a cover support structure, cargo platform support structure, elevation structure, translation assembly, mounting structure, vehicle structure, and/or another structure. First and second side support structures may be separate, interconnected, integrated into a common unit, corresponding, mirrored, asymmetric, and/or otherwise configured relative to one another. In certain embodiments, a side support structure may be associated with a side of a vehicle or cargo area and may support both a cover section and a cargo platform.
