Cutting Bed Liner - Best Tool?

The bedliner is easier to cut than you think. I cut the holes for the lower tie downs with a utility knife. I'm sure a fine blade hack saw will give you a better cut, and you can cut a circle to match the other holes.

I installed the bedliner myself. The torx screws are self tapping. When I installed mine, I used a cordless srew gun and just the screws. Didn't have to drill pilot holes or anything. They went right through the bed. The instuctions say to be careful and not to overtighten because it can strip easily. You might have to get some type of rust proofing or silicone material to reseal the holes when you take the screws out. The screws come with a rust proof type of coating globbed on the threads for initial instalation. I think when you remove them, you will need more to properly reseal them. Good luck!
Other than the tailgate where does your bedliner screw into the bed? Mine is not screwed into the bed at all...Other than the bed extender like we talked about before.
 
Thanks..

I have a Penda Liner and it is really nice! I think Penda might also manufacture the OEM bedliners as well (Not sure). I left those two screws out since the bed extender holds it down without two extra holes in my bed.

The liner will shift a little when you walk around on it, so I wasn't sure if I left a screw out or something.
