Default Wrong bed mat

Just ordered the wrong bed mat, UGH, now i have to figure out how to return this thing? That's the downside of online shopping. The ebay store I bought it from is looking into it, hopefully they ship me the right one and tell me to keep this one. And yes, I was looking for a mat to go OVER the ford bedliner, kills my knees crawling around on that thing!






I could cut it, but it will lose the build in edging....

The reason it is to big, is do to the fact that you have a drop in liner. I bought one for my truck , and because I have the drop in liner, mine is also too big. I had to trim mine to fit. No big deal.

I was looking for a mat that would work WITH the drop in liner, I thought they advertised this as the right mat and I am pretty sure I read reviews on Ebay where at least 1 other said he had it in a bed with the factory liner

Oh well, like MuffMan said, a little trim work isn't that hard.

My truck is a 2017 f150 xlt supercrew 3.5EB ~500 miles on it so far.

Representative from the Ebay store just emailed me, this mat was designed for use WITHOUT the drop in bedliner.

I am just going to cut it, I bought this mat to save my knees, not protect bed, I don't need it being a perfect fit.

Easy to cut with a sharp utility knife.

Personally, I'd leave it like it is

I was thinking of building some sort of bed divider and the left side of the mat blocks the slot I might use.

I don't know, I might leave it for a bit and see how it goes.
