I wasn't concerned about the bedtred leading to rust - very little moisture gets in under my cover (from other gaps), and I applied a tailgate seal around the gate.
The bedtred is not like a plastic drop-in liner. It's soft on the underside and isn't going to scratch off the paint in the bed. Painted surfaces don't rust. Plastic drop-ins wear off paint and lead to rust from water trapped under them. Not so with bedtred.
The bedtred acts as a pad as well.
got it...thanks much
