Second opinion on spray on bed liner from factory

[cal]

Not sure why you're hesitating. Just go in and at least get it documented. They aren't going to do anything if you don't ask. This is not normal wear.

Having no experience with liners, I didn't know if we were over reacting or not. He's going have his local dealer look at it. Haven't heard yet how long he'll have to wait for an appointment.

Apologies if I seemed harsh (easy to do in text) I've had both after market and factory (my Lightning). Spent a ton of time researching before I did had my Rhino brand sprayed in my Tundra. Seemed that all the peeling problems were due to faulty installation rather brand. If it wasn't perfectly clean the lining material would start to peel. Nothing to do with use. I've seen heavily used lined beds with deep gouge's that didn't peel around the scratches. If it's done right. Putting a plastic liner on top would invalidate your liner warranty as the buffeting by the plastic would wear away the liner in spots. I know we're not dealing with Lexus so warranty coverage might require more work but in the long run just ignoring it will be worse .

He's also got a fast blinker/blind spot system warning that he needs to take it in for. I told him to have the peeling looked at as well. The dealer he bought it from is communicative, but has provided zero help since it was picked up for transportation. Will post an update when he gets it looked at. Thanks all!

I got a fast blinker/blind spot system warning too. Wonder what this is all about. Any advice before taking to the dealer to fix?

When I searched the forum, best I could find was someone reporting an issue with the trailer light harness ( I think ). Something about a loose pin, sounded like it was an easy fix for the tech.

Your gonna love this. Dealer said the fast blinking and rear sensor alerts were caused by a 3rd party GPS tracker that was hooked up to the truck. They are charging him $185 diagnostic fee since it isn't warranty related.

He called the one he bought it from and demanded to speak with the general manager. The GM told him he doesn't know how or why it got hooked up, they aren't supposed to be using that one anymore. However, it turns out they did hide a GPS tracker under the back seat and would like it mailed back. My brother told him they can have it if they cover his diagnostic fee. The GM said he would call the local dealer and handle it. I guess it ended well.

I'm completely ignorant when it comes to bed liners. His concern is that it would continue to peel off.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like some stragglers that when they pulled the masking, they stayed attached to the rest of the Berliner and not the tape. It shouldn't keep peeling, but if it does, it would almost certainly be a warranty fix. This liner is the ToughBed factory option, so it ships like that from Ford. They did a crappy job taping/spraying on that edge. Definitely something that should be pointed out and documented now while mileage and use are presumably low. If there's another warranty fix giving a reason to take the truck in, then I guess it's the perfect time to add this to the check list.
