unwanted swimming pool

[jib88fer]

I have the stock HEMI bed liner. While nice, If i am parked downhill during a rainstorm, the bed fills with water. Other than remembering to park uphill, what mods have been done to combat this? Has anyone put in drain holes, or did Dodge put some in the steel bed I can connect to? I don't want water under the bedliner...

You would think RAM would of thought of this considering that water would pool up regardless of the bed liner or not.

On a related note, since I have a bed rug in mine, once a year or so I take everything out of the back and the bed rug and run it through the car wash and let it completely dry.

*edit* just realized 3rd gen section.

Step 1: Remove ****** plastic bedliner.
Step 2: Be amazed at how that ****** plastic bedliner destroys the bed of the truck.
Step 3: Take it to Rhino or LineX for a spray in beliner that maintains the factory drain holes in the bed already (both front corners and the center, by the cab).
Step 4: Be amazed at how much nicer your bed looks and is to work with with a spray in liner and without that ****** plastic bedliner in there.

Alternate to Step3: DIY Herculiner or some other type of spray in bedliner.

All of the above.

THEN.....

Get rid of the $300 tonneau, spend $3K on a matching topper and be EVEN MORE AMAZED at how much more dry and clean your bed stays. Double mic drop.

drill a few small holes

No... unless you can get to the underside to paint any bare metal.

There is factory drain holes in the front of the bed under the cover, but the aren't very big. Just slots so I'd cut a couple slots on the front. Of the liner about where the factory drain holes are to get the water out and never get a drop in bed liner again as they do more harm than good. They prevent dents, but they wear the paint off and cause rust.

This... remove it and use bedliner
