Westin HDX Headache Rack and Tonneau Cover Recommendation for a 2008 GMC Sierra
Question:
I have a 2008 GMC Sierra SLE with the 5foot 8inch bed, no liner, no cargo system. I am getting ready to install at Westin HDX Headache Rack to the front of the bed to protect the window, mount lights, and antennas to. Will I be able to install this cover AFTER I have installed the headahe rack or will it have to be removed before installation and reinstalled after? The Hadahe rack is the westin 57-8025

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Westin HDX Headache Rack part # 57-8025 that you plan to install on your 2008 GMC Sierra installs by attaching to the top of your bed rails.
Since the TruXedo Deuce 2 Soft Tonneau Cover # TX770601 that you are interested in installs on the inside of the bed rails it would be compatible.
It would be easier to install the headache rack first since you will have to access the underside of the bedrails and the install rail of the tonneau will make that more difficult.
