Drain plug for bedliner
Every time it rains I have a miniatrue swimming pool in the back of my truck. The bedliner doesn't have drain holes. Does someone make a kit that allows you to drill through the bedliner but seals the space between the bedliner and the truck bed so water doesn't get between the two?

Drain plug for bedliner
I don't know if it has drain holes or not as I put the bed liner in just a few days after I bought the truck.
This can't be a new problem. I just wondered how other Ford owners delt with it, or do people not worry about it and let the water stand until you drive off in the truck and the water just runs out the back.
I thought I could get under the truck and look for any drain holes but it's rained the last two days and I haven't been able to crawl under there. LOL

Drain plug for bedliner
You just hit the nail on the head. The water and moisture retention is the main reason that I have gone to spray in liners in both of my trucks. My last truck was only 3 years old with a slide in liner and I found the entire bed rusted. Made me so mad, but it didn't do much good. I finally went to the spray. The best slide in liner made still has some flex and movement, this in turn causes scuffing on the paint and metel of the bed, hence RUST. 
I did meet one fellow that took his liner out every week and cleaned and waxed his bed, way to much work for me. As far as a removable liner I think that the only one that I have heard of that doesn't rust is the BedRug. But I will admit that I havn't owned one personnaly. Good luck.
