Choosing the Right Tonneau Cover for Your MULTY® Rack: A Compatibility Guide



If you're looking for a headache rack, bike rack, or adjustable side rails for your truck, it's important to consider which type of tonneau cover will be compatible with your setup. By understanding the different types of tonneau covers available and the specific requirements of the MULTY® Rack systems, you can choose the right cover and rack system to suit your needs.



Tonneau covers come in a variety of styles, including soft covers, hard covers, and retractable covers. Soft covers are made of fabric or vinyl and can be easily rolled up or removed, while hard covers are made of rigid materials like fiberglass or aluminum and provide more security and protection. Retractable covers are a combination of the two, with a hard cover that rolls up into a canister when not in use.

This is because the MULTY® Rack system is designed to mount on the surface of the bedrails, which means that any cover that sits on top of the bedrails will interfere with the rack system.
