Can you Mount a Yakima Roof Rack on a Diamondback Se Tonneau Cover
Question:
Greetings, I am trying to put Yakima roof racks on my Diamondback SE Cover without drilling holes or installing a track. I am currently looking at the Yakima BaseClips. Since the Diamondback cover is essentially a naked roof, i am looking for BaseClips that can hook on to the sides of the metal Diamondback cover so I can put on the base towers without having to drill. Can you suggest a model number for the BaseClip?

There is a possible solution for you.
First, though, there isn't a Yakima BaseClip that fits tonneau covers. These are built specifically for each vehicle, so you won't be able to use any of them.
Since you do not want tracks or to drill holes, you only option is to use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars, part # 298-SX6000B. It's a complete roof rack with round bars that use suction to mount onto naked roofs. It has 48" of crossbar space and a capacity of 150 pounds. I've linked to a video review of this system below.
