Getting my bedliner to behave
I have a Pendaliner drop in on my 5.5 ft bed. The fit is not bad, really, but the height is a bit small at the tailgate. It tends to pull out from under the bedrail cap and then flop around 'til I stick in back in place.
After removing the adhesive left from a previous owner's duct tape-style mitigation attempt, I used short sections of capped pvc pipe in the the 3/4" dia circular holes near the tailgate to "pin" the bedliner to the bed near the top. Now how do I "stretch" the liner so that it sits down completely when the bed is loaded?
I suppose if the load gets big enough.....

Try a heat gun to a foot square or less at a time with a scissor jack and extension pushing on what you want to spread???
Or a 2 inch wide strip about a foot long?
Depends on how big a heat gun you have.
Or maybe one of those big propane wands with the 2 inch or so nozzle would heat up a large area!!!
Start in the middle and work out????
And have one of those guns you aim at it, and it tells you the temp. so you don't overdo the heat....
