    Hi all,

    I've read that with the OEM tonneau cover, you cannot have the front bed rail attached. Any truth to this?

    I have the front bed rail installed on mine, and thinking of getting the OEM cover.

    I believe the OEM cover is just a duofold not a trifold meaning there is still a 1-2ish foot part of the cover at the front of the bed that does not fold up to the window.

    Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

    The OEM cover is tri fold, but I believe the mounting brackets towards the front interfere with the front rail (if you installed one like myself)

    OK, it seems we're after 2 different answers.

    I know how the OEM cover folds. I'm fine with it. My Solid fold 2.0 works the same way.

    I just want to know if the OEM cover can be worked in conjunction with the front bed rail mounted.

    Yes, works with no problem or interference. I have the OEM cover installed from the factory and I added the front rail.
