How to Protect Tailgate?
I'm already getting scratches on the inside of the tailgate. I have a bedmat to protect the floor of the bed but was hesitant to get a rubber mat to protect the tailgate since they all seemed to require some drilling to install. I'd appreciate any suggestions or recommendations.
Thanks,
Mark

What about Line-X or Rhinoliner? I'm sure they'd spray as much or as little of your bed that you want.

No need to pay to have someone do it. You can buy a quart of roll on Herculiner for like $50 or so. I undercoated my entire bronco with the stuff, and it only cost me like $90 for the entire job, and a few hours work.

Usually the mats and t/g bedliner covers attach using the existing screws in the latch access cover. You shouldn't need to drill unless there is a need to hold down the mat at the bottom of the gate.

This is what I just ordered. I think it will do the trick. Website said it was in stock so I should have it by middle of next week. Anyone ever try one of the Penda products?
