I had a rubber bedliner for use when I had a slide-in camper and retained it for the 5er. I ended up cutting it into 3 pieces such that only the rails protrude thru, and not very much at that. I could have left it in one piece and cut openings for the rails, but I wanted to be able to remove it while the hitch is installed when I do not have my canopy on and rain water could get trapped under it. I like the non-skid feature of the rubber mat, but if my bed gets to looking bad, I will coat it with a commercial coating like Rhino-Liner. So far, after 6 years the bed is in great shape.
