Ordered mine today. Bed liner question
I think I might have the line x put over the top rail. I plan on a roll-n lock bed cover later.
Will it look cheap?
Should I stay with the plastic piece that cover the top of the bed rail?
Seems like it would be last longer etc.
This is a blue jean, lariat with most options... so don't want to mess up
Thoughts?

GO LOOK AT ONE THE SHOP HAS ALREADY DONE FIRST! Some guys are good and some not so much. Also, not sure if the 17 MY has holes in the top of the rail under the plastic, might be worth finding out first. Personally I'd go under but have seen it done over and looks good as well.

It's worth considering the factory liner as Rutcutter said. I had liner spray the bed last week. Apparently Ford changed bolts for the bed and line X didn't have the socket so they sprayed over bed bolts. It doesn't look as clean as it would have if they removed the bolts.

Not sure about the roll-n-lock, but my Backflip cover is attached with clamps which seals the frame to the plastic cap on the bed rails. The edges of the bed rails are still visible so the plastic maintains color scheme of the truck. My Backflip has been in place 5 years and still doesn't leak at the rails.

Personally I would not go over the top of the bed rail w/the spray liner. Even with a straight, even line, I just think it looks cheap. You asked. Just my 2 cents.

Line X has a lifetime no-questions-asked satisfaction warranty. This is one of the big advantages of the Line X. The warranty doesn't expire at 3 year 36000 miles.

Factory Spray Liner!!!
I have the factory spray liner on my 2013 Platty..... We have banged it, loaded lots of skid loads into it, and thrown stuff in the bed. Not a damn scratch. Could not be happier. (Wish I could say the same for the plastic tailgate cover that house the HUMP for the Step and Hand assist, it has a few rubs on it...LOL)
I have it ordered on my new SD!
