BedRug and Rust Prevention Tips

[Finch22]

Been rocking BedRug bedliners in my truck for a bit now, and I’ve heard some folks are worried about rust. I get it! BedRugs are awesome for keeping your truck bed safe, but if they're not installed just right, they can hold onto moisture.

To keep that rust at bay, I’d totally suggest pairing a BedRug with a sprayed-in bedliner. The sprayed liner gives you a solid shield against moisture, and the BedRug keeps your cargo cozy and protected.

Hope that helps out!

When I installed a BedRug liner, I was worried about moisture getting trapped and causing rust. So I opted for a sprayed-in bedliner underneath the BedRug. The combination worked wonders, my bed stayed protected, and I never noticed any rust issues.

I've had Bedrugs in three trucks over the years, and seriously, they’re the best! They don’t hold any moisture at all since the foam is closed cell. I pulled a couple out when I traded my trucks, and you won’t believe it - the beds looked brand new, no joke!

Combining a spray-in liner with a BedRug isn't all bad, but it's a solution that addresses a problem that may not exist for everyone. It's a very expensive way to add a level of rust protection that might be achieved with careful BedRug installation and maintenance.

If you're primarily concerned about rust and the cost is a major factor, a high-quality spray-in liner by itself might be the most practical and effective solution. If you really want the BedRug, focus on careful installation and maintenance to minimize the risk of moisture buildup.

I found some water under both of my Bedrugs due to leaks at the seams where the sides meet the bottom. Didn’t seem to mess with anything though, and it looks like it just dries out after a bit. No biggie!

My son used that rust-proofing stuff, like Fluid Film or surface shield, on his car.
