Pre-assemble Bed Liner.
- Align the sides of the bed liner as shown.

Pre-fitting Bed Liner.
-
Before proceeding with installation, verify whether or not the bed of the vehicle has a bedrail cargo management system installed.
-
For Jeep Gladiator with rails, remove side rails and bulkhead rail before installing BedRug. Reinstall rails on BedRug once BedRug is installed. Hook fasteners are not necessary when rails are bolted on top of BedRug.
-
For 07-21 Toyota Tundra, trim off sections of the sides and/or bulkhead area if a bedrail is present. (Fig. 4- 1) These trim lines are located on the back side of the side walls and bulkhead, and will vary depending on application. The BedRug bulkhead has vertical seams sewn on both sides, cut inboard of the
seam.(Fig 4-2) -
If no bedrail is present, proceed with Step 5.
-
Installing fasteners to Bed Liner.
- Attach (2) 1”X 36”, 1”X 2” and 1”X 60” hook to underside of the bed liner and tailgate. Trim 1”X 60” strip where necessary. Do not remove adhesive protective film at this time. (Fig 5-1)
- Attach 1” X 60” and 1” X 2” hook to the BedRug bulkhead area facing the front as shown. Trim excess from 1” X 60” strip where necessary. Do not remove adhesive protective film at this time. (Fig. 5-2)
-
- For bulkheads with nonwoven loop backing: Place hook fasteners in same general areas as shown. The hook fasteners will adhere directly to the loop backing. Ensure placement of hook fasteners will attach to a flat area on the truck bed.*
-
- Middle 1” x 2” row of hook fasteners shown are not applicable on some models.
- Attach 1” X 2” fasteners to the back sides of the bed liner sidewalls as marked by locators. Do not remove adhesive protective film at this time. (Fig 5-3)
Installing Bed Liner floor and bulkhead
- Locate bed liner in the truck bed.
- Position the bed liner – front to rear and left to right by aligning all edges and tucking corners into place. (Fig 6- 1)
- Roll the bed liner floor to you, exposing the 1”x36” fastener located on the bed liner bottom.
- Clean attachment area thoroughly with alcohol and allow to dry.
- Remove the film. (Fig 6-2)
- Roll the bed liner floor and sidewalls back in place.
- Firmly press the bed liner top surface for 15 seconds to ensure adhesive attachment.

Fitting Bed Liner for beds with tie-down hooks or other optional features
Some truck beds are equipped with tie-down hooks, load extenders, accessory
lights, power inverter outlet and other functional equipment located in the
floor or sidewalls.
For these the installer must either
- Cut a small slit or opening in the appropriate area allowing the equipment to protrude through the bed liner surface (This will not damage the bed liner) or,
- Remove the equipment until the bed liner installation is complete, then reinstall the equipment on top of the bed liner.
Do
not cut through any seams or sewn lines.
TIP: It is easiest to locate fastener holes with an awl after bed liner
is positioned for best fit.
Be sure to re-torque tie down fasteners to the OEM specs.
Installing Bed Liner sidewalls
- Rear vertical edge of bed liner should be positioned to match D-pillar surface. Start at front and working rearward begin removing film from fasteners bottom to top and from front to back. Firmly press the bed liner sidewall for 15 seconds to ensure adhesive attachment. Repeat for other side. (Fig 8-1)
NOTE: If using the bed liner in conjunction with a bed extender, cut the
slits (located on back of part) of the D-pillar area to allow access to
attachment holes. (Fig 8-2) The size and number of slits will vary depending
on the application
Installing Bed Liner tailgate
Rotate the bed liner up to access tailgate fasteners.
- Clean attachment areas thoroughly with alcohol and allow to dry.
- Apply adhesive promoter to plastic cap. (if applicable)
- Remove the film and align the edge of the bed liner tailgate section to the top edge of the tailgate. (Fig 9-1)
- Do not adhere the hook fastener to the factory plastic tailgate cap unless a 4298 adhesive promoter pack is included in the hardware kit. Most models are designed to adhere to sheet metal just below plastic tailgate cap.
- Roll the bed liner tailgate back in place.
- Firmly press the bed liner tailgate for 15 seconds to ensure adhesive attachment.
- After installation is complete, tuck bed liner material between the tailgate and truck bed.
