Has anyone figured out how to run a tonneau with the Fab Fours Overland Rack?

Trying to troubleshoot a situation for my wife. We have a Fab Fours Overland rack on our gladiator and we have our first baby on the way. We want to be able to store the stroller and whatnot in the bed and keep it dry. I'd love to install a retractable tonneau but don't want to buy one to find out I can't modify it to fit with the rack. We have our hardshell tent permanently mounted to the rack. I'm open to anything that will work smoothly.

I don't think the issue would be 'modifying the tonneau to fit the rack' but 'modifying the rack to fit the tonneau'. Some racks just aren't compatible with tonneau's. Have you thought about selling your fab four rack and going with a tonneau compatible rack?

Yes I’ve thought about it but I’m very happy with how stout the fab fours rack is, in addition to its expand ability and it’s currently wired for my exterior lighting and I need one as tall as it for my hardshell to clear the roof line. I would prefer to work around the rack than to work around the tonneau. If it’s not feasible I’ll go the route of a custom marine cover for the bed, I would just prefer something I can buy and trim with a grinder if need be.
