Hey all, I've had my Wolfe 6pt bar in for many months but my tonneau covers have been parked because they don't fit the two rear bars that mount just behind the back seat.

Have any of you with this bar or similar setup modded your covers to fit? I've seen one or two in car mags. I am going to tackle this project (maybe next spring) and am looking for ideas.

I'm even thinking of modding them to accept a handful of cool Dzus fasteners.

I was thinking about the exact same thing if I end up with the Wolfe rollbar. You might think about marking the places and using a dremel tool to carve out the openings. Just a thought. Hard to say since I haven't seen how the rollbar fits yet. You might also want to see if you can find an extra tonneau cover just in case of a mistake.

Cool idea....if you do get some pics of any rides like this, please post them. I'm totally interested in this concept. I imagine you could do the same setup that RKSport has...put some of that door hinge rubber stuff around the parts that are cut to clean it up a bit.

Keep me up to snuff on this one....
