5、ompo-nent part of the system extends more than 3 inches from the sides or back of the vehicle when the vehicle is in operation. This exclu-sion applies to all component parts of tarping systems, including the transverse structure at the front of the vehicle to which the sliding walls and roof of the
6、 tarp mecha-nism are attached, provided the structure is not also intended or designed to comply with 49 CFR 393.106, which requires a headerboard strong enough to prevent cargo from pene-trating or crushing the cab; the transverse structure may be up to 108 inches wide if properly centered so that
7、neither side ex-tends more than 3 inches beyond the struc-tural edge of the vehicle. Also excluded from measurement are side rails running the length of the vehicle and rear doors, provided the only function of the latter, like that of the transverse structure at the front of the vehicle, is to seal
8、 the cargo area and anchor the sliding walls and roof. On the other hand, a headerboard designed to comply with 49 CFR 393.106 is load bearing and thus limited to 102 inches in width. However, the wings designed to close the gap between such a headerboard and the movable walls and roof of a tarping
