Default BedRug users, question for ya.

When you installed your BedRug, what suggestions to you have for the two bed lights and switch? Were you able to remove the lights and switch after taking the tail lights out and remove them flush over the BedRug?

Trying to plan for the cleanest install I can. Tie-down pints and box link are easier with just bolts that go thru the cover.

I did find this video for the removal of them.

I'm not sure what removing them would accomplish? I just carefully cut holes in the bedrug around them.

did you put tape around them so the rug doesn’t lift up?

The reason I pulled the lights out is so after you cut holes and put the lights back in, the lights will hold the rug down and it gives a cleaner look. Still working on a pad for the light button not happy with what I have found so far

@Subhunter could you not do the same thing with the switch like you did on the light. I saw a post where one guy cut the foam off the back or the bed rug over the switch and stitched and X where it was and he just pressed thru the carpet. I wish you could turn the bed light on from the app.

When I looked at it did not seem like it had a large enough frame to hold the carpet down. What I'm thinking of doing is printing a small round label and attaching it to the same size piece of velcro. That square is just velcro tape

I left a flap on mine that covers up the generator plugs & switches. It simply pushes in flush when not in use but keeps a protective cover over them.

added rail lighting

I haven't tucked the carpet behind the lights yet but plan on it. I also added led rail lights to the rails for better lighting

I trimmed out the bedrug material around the lights and the switch adding extra Velcro behind the bedrug to keep it tight to the surface of the bed, ProPower panel small x-cut and tie downs were just holes for the bolts to attach back.
