The TS (T-Slot) Rails for Truck Hero Elevate Rack System part # TH65FR for short bed or part # TH45FR will allow you to use a rack system on top of any tonneau cover that mounts inside the bed rails like the Retrax. This can then be used with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 which mounts to the rails and provides crossbars atop the tonneau that you can attach most accessories to.
