I am working on getting ready to do the bedliner and i noticed 2 holes. i have put a pic of the one below but there is another identical on the opposite side. What are people doing to hide them? Also i was curious if people are leaving on the plastic pieces i pictured or coating over them or what. I appreciate all info. The ones i have been looking at looks like people all kind of do there own thing but i havent seen anyone mention the holes...

 

its the one in pic three. As for the wireing i think im just going to get some 1" wire loom and then line right over it i dont wanna take the time to run it all thru the rollbar..

 

I just lined mine on Friday, and was wondering the same thing about the 2 holes. I'm thinking of getting some metal or plastic and making covers for them.

I removed the plastic trim in the back before I sprayed, but I left in the other trim and just taped over it.

 

yeah i was thinkinh the dealer might have something similar to the drain plugs. but have not looked yet. i tihn ki might leave the trim it will cover the wires and all and i can still line right over it.

 

Easy fix that I used. First get a piece of aluminum dryer duct that can be opened flat. The shorter the better since this requires basically a tiny piece. Second made a paper cut out of the hole slightly bigger than the hole but not bigger than the lip it has. Next trace the pattern onto the flattened piece of duct. Using a siccors you hate or snuck away from the wife cut out the piece. This stuff cuts like butter no need for a saw or dremel. Next test fit and trim to size. Then using JB weld file that sucker over the hole. After a few hours you can sand it smooth and bedline. Took me about 20mins while I was working on preping the tub for my bedliner. And as you know this is a few day job using DIY bedliner, so you have the time... Hope this helps!

In case my description was to confusing here is a pic of the leftover piece of ducting. It might seem flimsy but for such a small patch it was perfect and looks good on the vehicle. Not to mention with the liner over it, feels like a piece of the body not a thin patch.

 

Also for the wiring just zip tie it under the lip of the side rail. There are a few holes on the rail for either hard tops or a tie down. Those holes are perfect for zipping it up. Then at the rear where it's still exposed just some cheap plastic tubing wrap cleans it up without breaking the bank or causing headaches running it in the roll bars. It'd have pics of all this except I'm in NC on a beach and my jeeps in Ohio.

 

looks like a simple enough way for me i will do it on friday night and hopefully get it all lined up for monday! My rustoleum rep said that there is no need to prime for there's either and it will be usable in 7 hours 2day cure time and 7 days until they recommend heavy loads on it. so i should be golden.
