Factory Bedliner and its components
I have a factory bedliner and I just noticed today that the plastic cup that surrounds the tie down points are missing in the back (towards the tailgate). There are four points and only the two near the cab have the plastic cup. I brought it to the dealerships attention and they stated that I am not missing any components to the bedliner and that there are only suppose to be two cups (meaning only the ones towards the cab are suppose to be there). Are they right?

That is so weird. Those two pieces are there to protect the bed lining and they are only in the front? What about the back? They dont care? Only reason why I am saying this is because I replaced the front two last Friday because they cracked. I was hauling an oven on the highway and I strapped it down using a bungy cord. The oven tipped over and fell, making the bungy cord stretch. When I pulled the oven out, the bungy cord snapped back and the only damage that it created was cracking the two plastic cups. I think Ford should install them in the front as well. I wonder that the price on those pieces are????

They are the ones surrounding the four metal tie downs IN the bed. They almost look like cups

I have those caps/ covers at all 4 points in mine. Maybe they just never put them in to begin with. But more than likely you will get told that they were there, stolen, and it's on you. Just a guess from my experience with the dealer.

I just checked my Ford bedliner (6.5 ft box), I have only remoable caps in the front, in the back my bedliner has molded indentations with two small holes where the two screws go through the bedliner holding the metal holdown bracket on each side, so it is pretty well sealed up so no water can get through.
My only guess is the dealer that installed your bedliner maybe opened up the hole much larger so they didn't have to remove the rear holdowns, instead of trying to align holes in bedliner with the box and reinstall holdown brackets....
