Sport bar with hard tonneau cover?

[Chrisj4]

I just got my '19 trailboss a few months ago and a recent trip with the family has highlighted my need for a hard tonneau cover. I love the look of the sport bars with the sport assist steps on the trailboss package and would like to add one to my truck as I have already ordered the assist steps. I know there are several soft cover options available that would be compatible with the sport bar but I really need the security of a hard cover. Does anyone out there know of any of the hard tonneau covers (roll-up, retractable, tri-folds) that may work with minor alterations?

 

Or if someone has the sport bar installed and could send me the inside measurements I may be able to figure it out myself. From videos I have seen it looks as if the new bar doesn't have the large bracket protruding into the bed like the previous one. 

 

Thanks in advance!

I have saw pictures of previous generations with retractable covers, took a little modification to make it work. I am just hoping to figure out the cover that will take the least amount of modification (I would rather void the warranty on the cover than the truck)

I agree, my truck is 6 months old, not looking to void the warranty on the parts I had installed. I have an e-mail into my guy at the dealership that does all my work. See if he has any idea's. We can't be the only ones to ever ask LOL

Good Morning,

 

You wont be able to fit a sport bar on a truck with a hard tonneau.. as it won’t be able to flip open properly..

 

Usually the only one you can fit is a soft roll tonneau cover, sorry for the bad news!

 

Hope you are having a good Friday so far.

Yeah, I'm thinking a retractable will be the only possibility rather than a soft roll-up

Part number for the soft gm cover for short bed with sports bar? I had an 18 all terrain x standard bed with sports bar and found a gm cover that worked p# 19355363. Looking for another for a 2021 shortbed. I ordered the soft cover from gm p# 19416979 and unfortunately it covers the front bed stake holes where the bars mount
