Will a Tonneau Cover Work with DeeZee Headache Rack for a 2017 Ram 1500
Question:
Hi there, I have a short box 2017 Ram 1500 with spray in bed liner and trifold tonneau cover. How will my tonneau cover install once headache rack is mounted?

Expert Reply:
DeeZee Custom Headache Rack # DZ95050RTB is not compatible with Tonneau covers because its brackets are L-shaped and will hang down into the bed. This will interfere with Tonneau cover mounting rails.
Depending on how the Tonneau cover rails mount to the truck bed you might be able to use a headache rack that mounts to the tops of the bed sides such as Aries rack # AA111000.
If you are not sure email me some pictures of the Tonneau cover open and closed and I can determine if a headache rack will work.
