Tonneau Cover Bike Rack Suggestions
I have a 2011 F150-FX4 with the standard 6.5' bed with a roll-up tonneau cover that secures above the rail. I am looking for a bike rack to install over the cover, preferably high enough that I can roll it up without removing the rack.
The kicker is that all the tonneau racks I have seen on line so far want to install on the side rails where the cover is installed. What I need is a rack system that installs either outside the tonneau mounting rails or in the four corner holes, those remain unobstructed by the cover. The photo below, (stock pic from a website and not my exact install), shows the same cover/install I have on my truck. I can shoot pics of my truck if that is helpful.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a receiver rack. Works well, but can't use it when I want to pull the boat. Watching this thread as I also am looking for an over-the-tonneau solution. Last summer I built my own. It worked OK, but not real great. It was a pain to secure the bikes down, and I didn't really like it. My research has led me to some systems that are meant to mount to the top of a truck topper, and people mount them to the top of the bed rails. Rhino Rack is the one I have been looking at lately.
