RE: [A/S] Truck bedliner



You are correct about problems under a plastic bed liner.  Another problem
with a drop-in bed liner and a bed cap is developing water leaks along the
rails.  Most caps are designed to sit directly on bare bed rails.  Cap
installers usually recommend removing drop-in liners before installing a
cap.  

If you get a spray-in liner tell them NOT to spray on to the tops of the bed
rails, again because of the possibility of developing a water leak.  

When it comes to the spray-in liner, ask around.  There are two different
processes, hot application and cold application.  There are many differences
and reasons to select one over the other.  Line-X (hot) and Rhino (cold) are
the largest franchises of the two different processes.
