Expert Reply:

You will need to use Crossbars # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 with a RetraxPRO XR Tonneau cover # RTT-80383 to be able to use a bike rack. Since the slots on the RetraxPRO are in line they cannot be used with a bike rack like the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 since the front has mounts that are side by side to provide stability for the rack. This is necessary to prevent the bike from falling on its side. The bike racks are also not long enough to span from the drivers side rail to the passenger side rail. If you can tell me what truck you are using I can verify the correct cover and crossbars for your vehicle.
