    pretty sure you can take the lip parts off (if that makes sense) and once off you can cleanly get at the tonneau hooks.
    should be only a few bolts (ones with a large allen key bit)

    unless you have a tubliner in that covers said bolts/screws.

    this info may not be 100% correct/accurate and there may be mroe to it, but you can certainly take the upper bits off to get easier access to the hooks.
    (hooks should be a part of those lip parts)

    Drawnnite is correct, you can take the torneau hook bars off the tray and rear latch. And then cut off the hook welds with a grinder. Next thing is to the put eye bolts in the corners of the tray so you can tie stuff down.
