Hello all,
I would like to remove my drop-in Duraliner and wanted to know if any of you have done this before? Is it as simple as removing the four tie-downs and lifting the liner out? Do I need to remove the plastic bed rail caps? If so, what's the easiest way? Any inputs as to procedures or pitfalls would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

P.S. If you live in the Hampton Roads area and need a SCrew Duraliner just let me know.

I think you just open the tailgate, and pull up in the middle of the bedliner at about the middle of the bed, this bows the liner enough to get one side out from under the rail caps. I watched them install mine, and that's the way they got it under the rail caps. A few kicks with a well placed boot, and it was under and installed. I would guess a few tugs should get it out. Apparently bowing it in the middle is the secret.

 

See, that's why I love this site. I never would have thought of that, thanks for the great tip.

Hey Mike, don't blame me if it doesn't work, I've never done it, I just watched it being done.

Would also suggest leaving the truck in the sun for a couple hours to make the liner a little more pliable. Other than that, Serotta's instructions are right on.

Good luck.

I Agree, I've been by several message boards including Ford Truck World and none of them were very good, I never stayed long because there wasn't much help there, then I found F150online and then the others became history

 

Success! Got the Duraliner out and then I installed the Bedrug today (got it from Chickenears, great price and fast delivery)! Like everyone else said, this Bedrug is really nice and install was easy (I took my time, though...about 1.5 hours total). Thanks again for the tips and help, I appreciate it.

P.S. I am building a gallery and will post pics soon.

 

DD-976,

Do you still have your drop in liner just laying around? I can come and get it out of your way if you were looking for someone to just haul it away

Ekim,
Sorry, I already gave it away. I will say that the Bedrug is a really great liner if it happens to fit your type of bed usage. I have the Undercover as well (your pics and posts actually helped me make up my mind on that purchase ) and the two go together quite well.

No problem....just looking for a hand out I have been really considering the bedrug and it looks like that is the route I'm going to take...once I save up my $300. Your truck looks real sharp by the way. I really like the look of the bedrug and undercover. I'm half way there
