Bed cover that is toolbox compatible

Hey guys I have a Ford F-150 with a standard bed and I bought an Access Toolbox edition tonneau cover and I have a Weatherguard toolbox that has lock/unlock keyholes on the front of the toolbox. Unfortunately when I went to install the bed cover I realized that the L channel that is supposed to drain water away is at the same level as the toolbox locks and I wouldn't be able to use my toolbox anymore if I installed the cover. Do y'all know of any soft rollup covers that are compatible with toolboxes that have locks in the front instead of the sides?

I'd think you'd need to get a box that has keys locks on the sides

Remount the tool box with a 2x4 between the bed rail and the box mount, this will give you 1 1/2" of lift and may raise the locks high enough to clear the drain channel. It also helps as a vibration damper related to other bed mounted box issues.
