Installing Access TrailSeal Full Bed Protection on Truck Bed with Spray-In Bed Liner
Question:
I have the factory spray in bedliner. I see where it is recommended to sand down the areas where the seals would attach to. This would require a significant amount of sanding, especially on the front seal. I think I put the tailgate seal under the bed where there is no liner. I am actually wondering if I even need the front seal as, I think, the factory spray in liner seals the front pretty well already? Would you recommend sanding down the front area or leave well enough alone?What is your recommendation as to the actual procedure of sanding, if that is suggested? Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
Not every spray-in bed liner is created equal so it may be possible to create a sealed up bed on your truck using everything in the TrailSeal Kit # 834532001453 except the front seal, but this will really be dependent on how much the bed liner covers. If it were up to me I would use all the components in the kit to ensure full benefit.
Now as for actually sanding down the needed areas for the seals my contact at Access recommends using 80-120 grit sand paper, which isn't overly aggressive but enough to smooth down the surface for proper installation.
