The two bolts per light housing are fastened through the tailgate area, commonly coated during the spray in process. Either the bolts come out, get masked off, or can be difficult to remove. The housings themselves, not so much. Maybe fear of overspray? Probably easier to mask them off instead of removing the housings.

I know when I had my Bedliner applied they removed the bed/taillights and bed lights, tailgate all hardware then put it on a rotisserie sprayed it. Was told they remove the beds as to prevent overspray and to do a better job.

More to the point. Even if they do remove the taillight. Most people will unplug it. It's 10 times easier. Not remove the bulb from the housing. I Never saw any correlation between bedliners and condensation in taillights back when I used to replace them at Ford.

Well after braving the Corona zombies and the marauding toilet paper gangs, they didn't have a replacement light after they said they did.
Have to go back in a few days.
