Yes but as i stated before.... drop in's are a nightmare in canada, unless you have the box lined or fully rust proofed, the liner will scratch the paint and store humitity and with our salty road, they rot the boxes on trucks!
When the factory does it, they are motivated to crank them out as fast as possible. When a local shop does it they are motivated to preserve their reputation or their business will die. I had mine done at the dealer and it's a work of art. They did a beautiful job. Gonna let it cure for a few weeks before "challenging" it. Looks too nice to mess with!
Don’t they come with a touch up bottle or what?Hey guys! Just wanted to see if any of you had the same issue...
Had my maverick for 3 weeks now (2 weeks actually cause it spent a week at the dealer for a still unresolved issue)
Hauled a traffic light last night (made out of plastic and fiber glass) and when i pulled it out, the liner got damaged at 3 spots, checked under the light and there were no hard edges and i can see the beds paint now.... kinda dissapointed, my 2500 chev with linex took way more abuse and i still cant see the paint in the bed.
Is this from ford or the dealership? I've given mine a beating and haven't had this happen yet. The picture looks really thin compared to mine.Hey guys! Just wanted to see if any of you had the same issue...

Same here with my 94 ranger and dibl...no rust underneath after 20 years. I called zebart about ppf on my maverick and also asked if they sell dibl and guy said they recommend sibl because over time, sand can get under dibl and rub paint off causing the rust problem. I figure using a tonneau cover would greatly reduce chance of sand getting under a dibl like on my ranger which had both a dibl and soft cloth tonneau cover (with the annoying metal snap buttons...ouch on the fingers in winter) for the life of the truck.
I was worried about that myself. When I get my Maverick I'm going to put some sacrificial strips on the bottom. Not sure what material yet- teak, cedar, aluminum? I'm going to be loading machinery, building materials, etc. Saw it done on another pickup and it looked good.Hey guys! Just wanted to see if any of you had the same issue...

Curious to know how tightly the bed tray liner fit against the sides of the truck bed. Did you install over a SIBL or over a painted bed?
Ford is cranking out 1000's of units compared to Line-X/Rhino. Shortcuts will be taken. Line-X or Rhino will hopefully do it right the first time so they do not piss off their customer base. For me I would rather have a factory DIBL vs a factory SIBL. I get the "sand and dirt will get underneath a DIBL" argument. For me, drop it in and forget it. Why inspect the bed unless the liner is being replaced or a new buyer wants to see the condition of the bed. It is obvious the bed condition falls way short of Line-X high “Shore D” hardness rating, tensile strength, and tear strength properties, to name a few.
You haven't said where this liner was done but from what you've posted it sounds like it was not a factory spray but dealer done after it arrived. Which is it because people are assuming it's a factory issue and it may not be.
