Tips for Trimming Bed Liner of Truck to Fit Fifth Wheel Rails
Question:
I want to keep the liner. Is there a template or instructions on where to cut the liner?
asked by: Randall S
Expert Reply:
We don't have a template or measurements for you to measure your current liner and trim it. You'll have to install the rail kit and then cut the liner after based on where they are.
You could mark on your bed rail (nothing permanently) where the rails are in relative to the forward and back position so that you could set the liner on top of the rails and then cut it out around them. This will let you know where you can initially cut down so that you are right on top of the rail. From there you'd have to cut out as much as needed to fit around the rail.
