did not happen, yet, but... used to have a NyraCord bedmat in my 2000, and at highway speeds the front corners would start lifting up. Put bungee cords between tie-downs because I was paranoid about the mat going airborne somewhere up on the bypass. I want to get another mat for my '03, are you supposed to secure these somehow? Anybody ever had a fly-away???

 

but the whole freaking fiberglass lid!

This spring I was on my way home from work...incredibly windy, and could hardly hold the truck on the road. At the crest of a hill, the wind got under my latched and locked Astro lid and blew it 50 yards away into a plowed field. The guy behind me in the little escort probably **** bricks! Thank God it blew off toward the ditch!

Insurance bought me a new Leer, an model that comes down over the siderails and has a better latching sytem.

Scary!

 

well I guess I will be securing it somehow... don't really want to be responsible for somebody in a little escort trying to drive with a bedmat flat across their windshield...

 

I drive quite a bit for work and have on more than one occasion seen a whole drop in plastic bed liner on the side of the road. I sure would hate to be behind one when it comes out.

I know when I take long trips on windy roads I like to check on the snaps of my soft tonnau.

 

Got a bed mat in my 87 f150 and have never had a problem.

been a 100 mph and most of the time there is nothing on top of it

03 Screw

 

It should be ok, my dad has had one in his P/u for 8 years and it has never blown out. His is high quality and Very Very heavy.
