Tailgate Liner Kit Part No: NZ6Z-9900038-C

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Did you get those washer bushings with your kit

Yes. My kit came with the proper washers and fasteners. If you didn't get the correct bag I'd bug 'em to provide it!

Will the liner fit over the spray-in liner?

I thought about mounting the piece of horse mat I have left over from when I cut it down for the bed mat. But it's so heavy; not sure I want to lift that on every opening of the tailgate...

I don't have spray in bedliner (using a rubber mat), but think the tailgate liner would be compatible. The tailgate is heavy as is!

It's not heavy though, I mean you can open and close it with one hand.

I have this kit, because I have the entire drop-in bedliner. It works, but doesn't cover enough of the tailgate, IMO. Want to add something else to protect the lower part of the gate.

just got my tailgate liner WITH the correct parts bag but no instructions-think I can figure it out but what are the 4 black adhesive tabs for...?

I recently installed the kit and the 4 small black squares are supposed to be placed on the four outer corners where the install screws go. I downloaded the install instructions from the Ford accessory website ( Ford motorcraft website.)Didn't see the real need for them as the liner covers the squares. Installed anyway per the instructions. There should have been a QR code included with the liner that takes you to the Motorcraft site for the instructions.

thanks for the info!

I like the dibl but a word of caution on the tailgate cover install…do not over tighten the screws as the retaining clip will strip out pretty easily…I should have hand tightened rather than using electric.

Yes, the instructions specifically have the torque values. Super low so I just hand tightened them.

The QR code that came with it did not work. I am guessing I was sent the wrong paper with a wrong code.
But I did get the right hardware.

I was able to install the cover with some help from a random youtube video.

Hi just a tip for those installing this tailgate liner: I have a 2023 Mav and this specific accessory part wasn’t showing up for me on Ford’s motorcraft website listed on the paperwork. But if you search under 2022 model year you’ll find it.

You don’t really need the instructions. There are some details about bolt install order that are specific.

I too was confused about the black stickers. My guess is that it’s because the cutouts for the outer screw holes on the liner are actually ovals. Depending on alignment, without the black tape you may see the paint color of the tailgate in the gap.

As for why those outer cutouts are oval shaped, being a woodworker I’d guess it’s to accommodate potential expansion/contraction in the plastic with heat and cold.

I ordered this using my FordPass points and have had to return it once already. Both times the liner came without the hardware kit. It’s crazy how incompetent ford has been with this. So, I’m just going to do it in my own. Does anyone know what specific piece is used to secure the liner to the bed when installing? I know it’s a cone type thing but not sure of the name or where to get. Thanks in advance!

Got my "backordered" tailgate liner in, picked it up at the dealer, got 'er installed. Very quick and easy installation. Torx 25 required to remove the 8 factory installed fasteners, Torx 20 required to install the supplied fasteners. This is money well spent IMO:

The instructions aren't included, gotta scan the QR code to take you to the Ford accessory install website. Not much to the instructions anyways. The only tip I can provide is to make sure it's centered horizontally, and parallel with the top lip of the tailgate.

Just installed my tailgate liner; took all of 10 mins w the right Torx sizes.
Thanks for the tip!

Interesting. That's the same piece that comes as part of the modular drop-in bedliner. The modular bedliner is made of the same material.

I'm a little sorry that I didn't splurge for the drop in bedliner. Dealer gave me 25% off accessories when we bought our Maverick, and all I opted for at that time was a tonneau. I've been using a rubber mat on the bed, have been waiting for Weathertech to have their bed mat available. Regarding the tailgate liner, money well spent IMO!

Weathertech makes a tailgate liner for 65+ship.

Note: NOT a bedliner, only the tailgate.
