This meant that our tri-fold tonneau cover couldn't be opened with the rack in place. It looks like you have a single-part hard tonneau cover, so you would experience the same thing.

What I did was use 3 pieces of 2x4 to make a square hoop that goes in the stake pockets and is roof high (to truck ). I use a car-top kit for the front of my canoe that has foam blocks and a strap that goes around and through the back doors of the truck. A bungee connects the back of the canoe to the hoop, and for highway travel I tie down the front to the tow hooks of my truck.
Cheap, custom, easy to store. Allows full rear access.
