    Looking for anyone who may have had experience with running a bed rack along with a RetraxONE MX tonneau cover.

    The cover does use the factory bed rails to mount, however the sliding mechanism is built into the cover itself, leaving the factory rails open for the most part. **I'll update this thread with pictures of the rails once I leave work**

    I've contacted Retrax to see if they can just sell me the side rails of their ONE XR system which has built in bed bars.

    Tuning in as well. I just picked up a new 2020 and I think the retrax is the best option for me wanting access on days that are and aren't adventure oriented. UpTop makes a very nice rack that works with the t slots with mid and full height options. Not sure if I'll get a rack right away but I want some protection from the elements and mounting options. Not sure which material I want to get though.

    I absolutely love my RetraxONE MX. It looks awesome, is very secure, and 99% water tight. I may just end up converting it to the RetraxONE XR model that has the built in t-slots for mounting aftermarket bed bars. However I did come across this setup which I think looks really clean:

    The problem I'm coming across is most of the bed racks out there use the factory slide rails to mount, which are covered up by the bed rail mounts of the Retrax:
