As I used to install bed liners, I would be more worried about the possibility of the chems used to create this bedliner. I am not sure now as it has been a few years since I was an installer, but I remember a man bringing me in his truck after having it sprayed three years earlier and the middle of his bed was corroded. The corners corroded as well. Don't know for sure that his liner was the cause but, the man stated that his bed was in perfect condition before he sprayed his bed.

After leaving there I went on to be a General Motors (yack) Cust Relations Manager, and one of the things that voided the warranty on any body (body has 10, 100,000 mile warranty) repairs was exactly this (any sprayed on "protective" materials).

So be very cautious in using any sort of material that is sprayed onto your vehicle anywhere, this included Undercoating. Unless the dealer did the undercoating, in which case the dealer is liable for any damage that was caused by the undercoating.

Then there is the idea behind why you put the liner in. If it is to protect the bed so that you can keep it's re-sale value. Well you have to be able to get the liner out so that the potential buyer can see that there is nothing wrong with the bed.

These are things I would be concerned about. Other than that, looks good so far from the picture. Good luck with it, hope it works well for you.
