Expert Reply:

I believe what you're looking for is the Replacement Side Rails for Retrax XR Series Hard Tonneau Covers # RTT-82381.

These rails can be added to the RetraxONE XR, PowertraxONE XR, RetraxPRO XR, and the PowertraxPRO XR tonneau covers to replace the standard rails and will provode the t-slot you're needing to mount the Yakima Overhaul.
