  • Under the rail liner with tabs
    Patent number: 5100193
    Abstract: A truck bed liner which protects the bed of a pick-up truck is fastened to the pick-up truck bed without needing to drill into or puncture the bed of the pick-up truck. The liner is comprised of a resilient portion which is adapted to be deformed and retained in its deformed position within the lipped end of the truck bed side wall rail. The force brought about by deforming the resilient portion acts on the liner in a way which prevents it from dislodging from the truck bed. Further, a removable tab is also disclosed as the resilient portion. The tab can be easily removed for replacement.
