ABSTRACT:
A fastener assembly for securing a bed liner having a plurality of liner holes to a pickup truck cargo bed having a bed rail includes a retaining plate that engages a lip that depends from a downward-depending portion of the bed rail. The fastener assembly further includes a base member that engages the retaining plate through its associated bed liner hole such that the base member and the retaining plate engage the bed liner and cargo bed in a clamping arrangement, securing the bed liner to the cargo bed. Finally, the fastener assembly includes a foldable tie-down member that may be used to secure cargo within the cargo bed after the bed liner is installed.
