Spray In Bed Liner concerns

[Stagehand38]

Noticing several holes in the bed of the truck, not sure if they are threaded or not, are any of these holes useable as more tie down receivers or drain holes? Will getting a spray in bed liner remove the usage of these holes in the future?

Only the 2 large holes on both sides of the bed are threaded and used for D-Ring Anchors. The rest are just drain holes. Just shove something inside of the holes while getting the bedliner sprayed in.

In addition to this, you’ll want to thread something into the anchor points for the spraying. If you cant tell the size difference you’ll notice theyre the holes with inserts in them

You would think that they who spray would have a handle on how to prep the bed But never hurts to ask before they spray

Also not only the floor but don't forget the bed sides for the rail holes you use to add the rail with sliding tie-downs if not they will spray over the holes

Make sure you tell them NOT to drill out any spray that does get in the drain holes. The gas tank is directly below and not that far down.

For sure. This caused a fuel tank recall when it was done by the factory. I wonder if Ford would pay the cost of replacing the fuel tank if an aftermarket SIBL caused damage to the fuel tank.

I have the SIBL, and the drain holes are not affected. I’m sure they put something in each hole to keep them from being plugged up.

You can be guaranteed that ford will not pay to repair anything caused by either a third party installer or an owners attempt to make a modification that goes awry.

If it were me, I would make damn sure whoever is doing an aftermarket SIBL is very well aware of the fuel tank location on your Maverick and what caused the recall in the first place. I'm guessing most/all shops that do SIBL have no idea that this is an issue.

That is easy. No. No, Ford wouldn't.

Why do you want to ugly up that beautiful paint on the bed with that black rubber substance.?

Why? Because that beautiful paint in the bed will get all scratched up and look even uglier than the black rubbery stuff. Plus that beautiful looking painted bed will get dinged and dented w/o that black rubbery stuff.

Yeah we all know how well that worked out at the factory

That only works if you only haul pillows or stuffed animals…
