ABSTRACT:
A dual composition bed liner (10) is disclosed which includes a unitary side and front wall member (11) formed of a resilient plastic, such as polyethylene, and which has a rubber bed mat (18) integrally attached to the unitary wall member (11). A plurality of "C" shaped retaining tabs (19) are formed along the upper edge of unitary wall member (11) to engage the underside of truck bed rail (24). Each of the left side (11a), right side (11c) and front wall (11b) panels have a lip (13) extending inwardly from their bottom edges. A mat retaining ridge channel (14) is formed in the underside of the lip (13) to receive a retaining ridge (19) formed along the marginal edge of the upper surface of the bed mat (18). A plurality of rivet recesses (15) are provided in the top and bottom of retaining ridge (19) and are positioned to align with similar rivet recesses (15) in the mat ridge channel (14). Bed mat (18) is attached to unitary wall member (11) using nylon or similar non-marring rivets (16) which are countersunk, on at least the bottom surface, so they will not come in contact with pickup bed (25).
