Message:
Hey Boys and Girls,
I am looking for a tonnau cover for my '03 Dakota Club Cab. Only catch is that I have bars set up on my side rails, and they take up 100% of my rails. I tried to fit on a "low profile" soft tonnau cover, but even that needs about 1/4 inch of my bed rails. I would like to buy a hard cover, if I can find one at a good price, but would certainly settle for a soft one.
If anyone has any helpful hints, I would certainly appreciate it.

You can see pics of my dak here:

Thanks

If I ever find a Hard Tonneau that matches the color of my truck for a good price I will be selling my access soft cover that I bought a couple months ago.... http://www.accesscover.com/ I paid about $500 after shipping and everything, but I would sell it around $350 or so.

By the way I do have chrome bed rails on my truck and it does fit very well. I just want to get a A.R.E. or Gaylord cover so I can have extra protection in my bed so I can put expensive things in my bed. Here is a picture of the back of my truck with the cover:

That doesn't touch the top of the rails at all?

Correct, It goes from the side edge and slants towards the inside of the bed, all siderails will fit with this cover and the cover wont touch the siderails. This cover is easy to install and you can do it yourself in about 30min.

Here is a better picture of it, Like I said it does not extend onto the rails at all, the four corners have a little extra that comes out on each corner due to finishing the square which shouldn't effect any side rail in less you have a rail that goes around the tailgate too. This cover extends ontop the tailgate and locks behind the tailgate so if you have a locking tailgate your bed is secured.
