Smooth Tonneau

I have a Bak Revolver 4. Reason I have a 4 is I like the matte better than glossy (2) on the cover. I can't stand the look of the dividers going across the bed, it doesn't look right. I never see striping going across hoods or other areas making it look unnatural. I have the Thule TracRac system (contractor) which limits my tonneau choices if not kills them. Prior setup on a 2015 F250 was a Trac tonneau setup which had gutters on the trac rails on top of bed rail, the tonneau would roll (no metal) up or down in the flanges on the gutter setup and had velcro strips running length. Pain to roll up or down w/o hopping up.

Are there any other choices electric or regular to fit with TracRac and have a smooth (pebble grain) finish w/o lateral strips ?

The prior setup kept the inside 100% dry. I would pop the latch on the cover every time I closed the gate so weatherstrip was on top of gate (pain). This setup the back is some what vulnerable with water rolling on the top of tailgate under weatherstrip going down inside, not a big deal except I have a Bedrug, and in the winter the fold where the gate bottom is freezes and gets stiff. Messes with the closing sometimes.
