My Ranger's factory liner is thin in spots, I can see paint through pinhole sized holes where it was sprayed thin....and it's peeling in one spot.....I'm guessing they don't sand/scuff the paint before spraying it.
That said, it's better than a plastic drop in one. Those should be banned IMO.

Can you post pictures of the peeling?

My '22 Lariat EB was the "base" Lariat so no SIBL. I showed my local LineX dealer that Ford charges $495, I would pay him $500 cash. They coated the top rail under the rear window and the entire tailgate.

My '24 hybrid Lariat came with factory SIBL. I was so surprised the factory SIBL didn't coat the top rail nor the entire tailgate. I think you are better off going directly to LineX.

I had Rhino once but the dealer closed so I have used LineX on my past 3 trucks and really like it. After it ages the gloss is gone. You can touch up paint spills with flat black from a spray can.
Thanks, yep line-x for the win!

How far did you have to travel to find a Line-X dealer still in business?
A lot of Line-X dealers have closed because of the parent company becoming greedy and changing the franchise agreements.

Factory SIB. First visible scratches after shoveling off few loads of compost. Next time, I’ll do better job protecting the tailgate.
