Yeah - I don't use the handle - I use the step a lot, the handle is a bit of a pain when it comes to taking loose material out of the bed. So, is your cover flat then?

meh, my OCD would have gotten the best of me had I left it on. I see no use for the handle for me.

I have the spray in and the step, they just sprayed the bed and left the tailgate alone.

I do the spray bedliners at the dealership I work at. We do not do the tailgate with the step, unless the customer wants the pole removed.

All other tailgates we remove the inspection panel. Tape off the access holes in the gate, and spray both the gate and the panel separately. We take them off so you still have access to the innards of the gate, for the handle, the camera, and the torsion bar. If you accidentally break your handle(it happens up here in the cold weather)and the inspection panel is lined over, you're screwed. Because then the we will have to cut the panel out, and re line the gate, costing extra $$ for you. We also R+I the tie downs. And we also line over the bed bolts. Which me, and the other guy that does the liners with me at work, have strongly protested against. But, you guys would be surprised at the amount of people that specifically want them lined over. It is way more than those that don't. That surprised the Hell out of me.

I have actually had to redo a liner, after a customer was in an accident and had to have the bed removed for repair. Solely to re line over the bed bolts. That's what he wanted. Weird to me, but whatever.

I prefer the look with the bolts lined over but I wouldn't do it in case the bed had to come off.

got it done today, looks great. happy i took off the pole and is now all even. i kept everything in the event i sell it and will give the other buyer the option of putting it back on. all the bolts were lined over too, i like it that way.
