ABSTRACT:
Improved corner strength and water tightness are provided in a bedliner having a bottom wall that is foldable from an as-molded position to a use position along a junction line that is spaced inwardly from the side walls and the wheel well covers to avoid joints and gaps in the bedliner corners or the interface between the wheel well covers and the adjacent bedliner components. Cut-away sections in the front wall of the bedliner are spaced inward from the bedliner corners and are to be removed to convert the bedliner from the as-molded position to the use position. The resulting segments of the front wall can be connected by a joint connector to improve strength and water tightness of the front wall.
