Factory Ford bedliner plug kit.

I purchased a bedliner and light plug kit for a 2023 F350 short box. The oval plugs that are supposed to cover the bed lighting and don't even come close to fitting and snapping into the bedliner cutout. Is this a common issue with the Ford plug kit. Why do people sell products that don't work.

Shows how little I know, I would have assumed those plugs are only for use without the box lighting.

If that's the case it would have been nice for the Ford parts counter person to tell me that when I asked them if they would work with the box lighting.

What are you hoping for that plug to do? I'm confused.

Just looking to cover the lights and openings when I get a load of stone or dirt dumped in the box. I'll machine up some covers out of Delrin and make a secondary bezel mounting perimeter ring that will stayed attached to the bed liner.

What they sold you are replacement covers for truck beds WITHOUT lighting installed. A truck bed will have the lighting holes punched out on all bed, if it comes without lights, those covers are installed instead. This is the parts guy not knowing what the part is for.

What this and it should start where the bed is pictured, but look for the cover.

I believe this is what the OP purchased, or intended to purchase https://accessories.ford.com/drop-in...9&gad_source=1

It includes plugs/blanks very similar to those that come in the bed of trucks without lighting, but in this case they are used for cutouts in the drop in bed liner. They sell a lower hole kit too.

Read the fine print though

Simply remove any equipment attached to the standard interface plates and then fill the access holes with these plugs; when done, remove the plugs and reattach equipment.
IE lights etc. What the OP pictured looks no different from the non lighted bed plug. So the bed lights come out in order to use the liner plug.

You are correct. That is what I purchased. "2 lighting plugs included". They just forgot to say not for use with lights.

Yeah my wife's '19 F150 had the drop-in liner, and it didn't come with those plugs because it had the bed lighting. If we'd wanted to haul gravel or dirt up that high, we'd have had to cover the lights or remove them and use these plugs. Probably faster and easier to just cover them up with something instead.

Duct tape, reuseable too, well, off the roll that is. Looks like the kit includes the plugs for the lights and for the tie down fixtures which the name totally escapes me, which has to also be removed to plug the liner.

Yeah, my thoughts. Duct tape or flex seal.
