Not another tonneau cover recommendation thread!!! I know, sorry. But I need help from those in the know. Going on a road trip soon and need a tonneau for the 2022. I prefer a soft cover, but would do a solid one with the right features. My only must have is stated in the title; something that does not interfere with the trunk. Now before anyone says well this one is 75% good, or mostly works. I am looking for something that 100% clears the trunk, or so close to 100% that I can't tell the difference.
So obviously there is plenty of research to be done and I have found 2 known covers that DO NOT interfere with the trunk. Hopefully there are more.
Honda OEM hard cover
North mountain soft roll up
What this comes down to is the mounting. The two covers above use brackets to mount to the cover directly (OEM cover) or to the Velcro rail that sits on-top of the bed rail (NM roll-up). Most covers seem to utilize a "mounting rail" that simulates a steel truck bed mount. This mounting rail typically sits inside of the bed rail and interferes with the trunk. So my questions are:
1) Are there other covers that mount with brackets and clear the trunk other than what is mentioned above?
2) Can the OEM cover brackets be used on other brand tonneau covers? Can these brackets be used instead of the "mounting rails" these covers typically ship with? What covers could/have been used in this way?
Basically I am looking for any tonneau cover option that clears (or can be made to clear) the OEM trunk. Appreciate the suggestions!
