Tailgate pads on the 3rd Gen

I'm wanting to get a tailgate pad for my DCSB. I have an after market tri-fold tonneau cover. Will I be able to leave the tonneau cover on (folded up) if I use the tailgate pad? FYI, one of my bikes is a 29er.

 

Don't get the Raceface pad. If you want to ba able to see you tailgate handle, you will not be able to reach the frame of your bike with the Velcro straps. But if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, that would be great

 

Don't think you will have room to leave your cover on.

 

Yeah, I have to fold it back to get them in

 

I ended up with a Bomber Strap tailgate pad. Works great for a single bike. Removed my Bakflip tonneau to make it all work easier.

 

from the RF pad I’ve seen, yours is too far down. The straps should be at a 45* angle in toward the bed, rather than out away from the bed.

 

Yeah, my straps don't look like that, I wonder if I somehow ordered an older version or something
