My new 2014...I'm so sick right now.

[gtstricky]

Just got back from my Line-x shop. Trusk looks great.

 

OP I asked them about your situation. The owner said in 10 years he has only had to remove one bed floor that bubbled and it was something that showed up the next day in the bed. It was a friend of his so it worked out fine. The do 4-6 trucks every day so that shows how few times this should be happening.

 

Hope it works out for you.

What is holding that warranty tag on? I was thinking the same thing about removal, but I want to know what is underneath first. The window sticker isn't going to stay, for sure. No harm there, but they got their hour of advertising on my drive home.

 

Pretty sure it's attached when the liner is still soft.

 

Good to see that shop in Lansing does good work. When I get a new truck next year I'll probably be bringing it there since it is closest.

No I don't think that is it, as it is only attached in the center.

 

That reminds me, I need to call and ask them before they close today. Thanks!

Just called them. It is attached with 3M double sided tape, so no aesthetic problems with removing it. The Franchise would like it left on there though, to show it is a Line-X product for warranty. And not mentioned, but obviously advertising.

[MikeNH]

Interesting. I picked up somewhere that it was bonded to the liner or something. I left the emblem on mine, most of the time the tonneau is on so it's covered anyhow.

[shortnugly]

Wow. What story. I woulda had a new bed from the dealer and easily recouped my attorney's fees plus damages.

 

I had the Rhino liner in a previous truck. Tough as hell but it faded a little from the sun. Not an issue because my truck was used like a truck.

 

Second truck already had the Line-X in it, black. Didn't fade but I spray painted it with gray primer to keep the heat down for my dog.

 

Third truck I have now has the Line-X and looks like it'll give me years of tough use.

 

My next truck, 2017 K32 series with the 4.5L DMAX will have the Line-X Ultra Series Solid gray application.

Iirc my truck has an Inyati bed liner and it has held up amazingly well for the 12 years that we've had it in the family. She has been used for light duty work at least once a week since 2006, and is only slightly faded and doesn't have any significant chips or scratches.

 

My dad has a 2006 Silverado without a bedliner and his bed looks like sh!t, all dented and scratched.

 

If the work is done right with a quality product theres nothing to worry about. I wouldn't think twice about installing it on a brand new truck.

Up here at 6000ft everything fades from UV damage, even the stuff they say won't fade. It's just a matter of time.

I saw a video online from a Youtube channel that I regularly follow for tool reviews. Their channel is named Tool's in Action. Anyway, he just got his 2015 F150 Line-x'd with the Premium product.

 

In that video he reviewed the product and process with a Line-x shop in the Great Lakes area of Illinois that has been doing it for 19 years. They even went into what they do if they make a mistake during the install process and how they handle warranty issues such as peeling, scratching and bubbling. It made me think of this thread which instilled some doubt in me about getting a Line-x liner on my new 2015 Silverado.

 

Here is the link to watch the video:

 

This stuff is still pretty amazing. They coated a coke can in Line-x and basically stood on it and the thing didn't crush.

 

After watching a reputable installer go through the 44 step process it put me at ease. I am looking forward to getting a color matched Line-x for my Silver Ice Metallic Silverado Crew Cab.

 

Gonna have to start saving because it doesn't come cheap.

Praying for ya man. I saw the prep on you tube. NOBODY is sanding and grinding my new paint (unless it's for repair). I put in a bed rug and a semi hard trifolding Chevy tonneau and love it. It locks on the inside and I got a Pop And Lock. I'd do it all over again but maybe use a Fold A Cover G4 Elite instead.

 

 

LOL................Then you will never have a quality bed liner. The point is to replace the paint with the spray in liner, they need to prep the area and that means removing the paint. Enjoy your "bed rug"!

[BlackZ71Silverado]

Yeah, it is what it is. I trimmed up the really bad edges of the tailgate and used a little Duplicolor to fill in the gap between the plastic tailgate trim piece and where the Line-X stops. The tailgate is still hard to close and you have to push inward to open it but it is just how it will have to be. I will drive it for now and trade it in when I get the chance. I haven't had it a week and the permanentness of this problem has soured the whole ownership of the truck for me. I'll not make this mistake again.

 

Why suffer financially by trading the truck in, that doesn't make sense. The clowns that attempted to spray the liner need to pay and have it redone properly by a shop that knows what they are doing. No way you should even think about trading it in and losing money to get another truck.

[cbsaf]

Wow! A blast from the past. Well, to follow-up I still have the truck and I am getting close to the trade-in period I was waiting for. My friend got a Line-X done in a different city close to here and his was nothing like mine. I ended up covering mine up with the factory screw in bed liner. I just never could get past the waviness, running, different sheens and overall horrible bed liner.

 

When I mentioned not paying for this mess, the guys remained cool and calm and mentioned putting a lien on my title or some such nonsense. I realized I didn't have the time, resources or drive to mess with these fools. When I look down the holes on the bed rails, I can see the screws I used to mount the factory bed liner. On the passenger side the 1" screws stick out almost 3/4 of an inch. On the drivers side the Line-X is so thick the screw is barely visible. The Line-X is almost 3/4" thick on that side.

 

I just drive it now and don't baby it like I did my last 4 trucks. The tailgate is still difficult to close. I haven't washed it in months. I was just soured on it the week I got it. If something would happen to it, I wouldn't even care. When anyone asks me about Line-X I tell them that it is great but to avoid the clowns that installed mine, and I take them to peek under my drop-in bed liner.

You really should speak to an attorney about the shitty install. They damaged a $40K+ truck and did NOTHING to correct it, but instead made it worse. An absolute amateur could see that.

 

Some attorneys will take a look at your case, then tell you they can do the job and take their cut out of the settlement.

[Alfieboy]

line x here in richmond va does a great job..they did my 2007 crew cab..amazing with the cover NEVER faded ...ever..way better then rhino or others...
