I have diamond cut rail covers on the side rails. Can I install the cover with these in place?

BakFlip Tonneau Cover - FAQ
Unfortunately not. These diamond rail caps are very difficult to attain a proper weather resistant seal.
Related Questions

Truck Bed Cap - FAQ
Absolutely! Every mounting rail comes pre-assembled with some form fitting weather stripping already attached on the underside of the mounting rail. So when you install the mounting rails over the diamond cut rail covers, the form fitting weather stripping seals that area without any problem. Most of the time the bed extender does not work well with the cover because the mounting rails protrude just enough to make it difficult to flip in and out.

What is Backdale Quarry?

My Page Title
This was a plan to quarry most of what is left of Longstone Edge. The plan was to extend the existing High Rake quarry east to the edge to the Derwent valley and creating a hole with an area bigger than Bakewell. The original plan was proposed by RMC in 1997 but triggered protests that led a judicial review which prevented them going ahead. Bleaklow Industries took over the quarry and the plan in 1992; their contractor, Merrimans, started quarrying limestone on a massive scale in 2003.
