No noise from mine. I plan on leaving the sides, front panel and gate panel and replacing just the actual bed floor panel with a rubber type floor only liner that can pull out.
I completed the opposite of this experience last weekend.
My son's 23 XLT Hybrid doesn't have a bed liner. I bought a DIBL someone advertised on the SoCal Mavericks MTC forum, and I installed it on his Maverick this past weekend.
I helped the seller remove the DIBL, which helped make the installation straightforward.
I noticed the DIBL I purchased didn't have the holes cut out in the side panels for the cleats closest to the cab. Thus, I cut holes in both side panels before installing the sides.
