Can Older Thule Square Bars Be Used On Retrax Tonneau Cover?
Updated 08/30/2021 | Published 08/28/2021
Question:
Are there feet from Thule or Yakima that will slide mount to the grooves in a retrax tonneau cover that will also accept an older Thule square bar?

Expert Reply:
You will want a new roof rack for your Retrax tonneau cover because there are not any feet available to fit your older Thule square bars onto the Retrax cover. I'm sure this is not the news you were wanting to hear, but I will give you an excellent recommendation in case you decide to purchase a new setup.
I recommend the popular Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers - Black - 71" # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. The crossbars are 71" long and offer an aerodynamic design for reduced wind noise. These crossbars have an advantage over your older square bars because they feature a T-slot channel on top which allows for various accessories to be easily installed.
This kit includes everything necessary for installation; I attached a demonstration video for you.
