The socket cracked on mine last spring as well. I ordered a new one, received it, and then "lost it." I asked my wife several times to no avail. I finally ordered a third one. As I was installing it, I went into a hallway closet to grab something. Way up on a top shelf was my 2nd DeeZee kit. "Oh yeah" she says about moving it up there to 'get it out of the way.'

Now I have a spare for when the current one breaks.

I know this is an old thread but I’m curious if the newer designed plates are prone to rusting? I’m debating whether to put some clear coat on mine before installing.

Does the tailgate mat lift off easy and fold over into bed? I use a tailgate bike pad and the straps go around and under to attach it.
I got the BedRug bed mat and their tailgate mat separately. The tailgate mat is Velcroed on and removes easily.

Yeah i could go that route also, i believe they are both attached the same. The bedtred comes with attached tailgate mat and is a little cheaper.
