Useless. They hold water underneath and rub through the paint. Add these together and you can see where that goes. Not to mention they're slick, so everything slides around. Do a DIY spray/roll in liner.

I pulled mine out too. It was warped and slippery. I couldn't even give it at on Craigslist. That's a first for me.

Well everything I haul fits in my bed extender so it won't slide around. Plus the one I'm looking at is tan (King Ranch) and I don't have $700 to pay for a line x to match the tan and the roll on ones I don't really like because of the likelihood to peel off in a few years

Isn't your truck high miles? Why not sell it for a car if you can fit everything in the bed extender? I'd bet that a trunk is just as big, if not bigger than a bed extender.
