But my bedliner and box cover was installed like in the pics below by my dealer. Every other bedliner on other pickups that i looked at is fitting way better than that. I dont think that i can trust them to do better if they had no shame to sell it to me like that. This is my first new pickup and i wonder what i could do to fix that...2BA3FEA7-A49D-46D4-BB6C-97209F5735AC.jpegA521848F-4E01-4DEE-B667-9B64519AD1F6.jpeg1536DD1D-7E1A-4C88-BBA4-E3442AFCDFCB.jpeg444BB124-CFD3-4630-91EB-4D95ED13CD0B.jpeg96BD39ED-23DF-4A39-A8D8-4EA2D6BFE8F5.jpeg

You can try a heat gun and bend it over a piece of lumber to re-define the shape.

This is always the problem with the plastic liners. They warp. They also scratch the bed, trap water and cause rust. I personally have told the dealer to remove them from trucks when purchasing one with these deplorable things in the bed.

It looks like you have an extra piece of material (Foam?) under the bedliner lip. It's not allowing the lip on the liner to lay flat. If you want to protect that area from wear just get a strip of plastic protective film PPF and replace the foam. My factory bedliner lays dead flat over the front rail just like your picture. If it doesn't go flat the lip is distorted and the dealer should deal with that issue.

You'll get all kinds of comments about the advantages and disadvantages of bedliners but the factory one on my 19 Laramie is tough as nails and it will take a lot to dent the bed under it.

I agree with what you're saying about the extra piece, possibly foam. It almost looks like "foam" was put down first but should have been placed on top of the bedliner if it was being done to help seal the cover.

That definitely needs fixed and hopefully it hasn't already damaged the paint on the cab.
