Will the Truck Bed Rust When Using the DeeZee Heavyweight Truck Bed Matt on a 1999 Ford Super Duty

Question:

Will the bed tend to rust underneath the mat? Thanks

The DeeZee Heavyweight Truck Bed Mat, # DZ86881, may help protect the bed from moisture in some instances, but it was not designed to protect the bed from rust. Moisture can still build up in the channels under the bed mat.

It is important that the bed is cleaned occasionally under the mat because moisture that is trapped under the bed mat will not evaporate easily and will build up in certain areas. The main purpose for the bed mat is to keep items from sliding around the truck bed and to protect the bed from potential scratches or dents.
