I'm a little curious, how was the bedrug installed incorrectly? I just got done doing mine and it fit perfectly. On my 2013 I had Linex premium with just the bedrug on the floor of the bed. Decided to try the whole rug and I'm glad I went that route. I don't put anything in my bed that really warrants a Linex. The full rug looks great. Next comes the Retrax ProMX. Sitting in the garage. Maybe tomorrow.

Im with ya, me either and it's a better fit for me. I say this as I'm going to pick up a bathtub but it'll be ok :)

They did a real sloppy job, I should have done it myself. They cut holes in the rug for the bed lights instead of removing them and putting them over the top, covered my tie down points instead of removing them and putting them on top and the overall fit is crap, sloppy.... Having it re-done Friday.

I dumped the Retrax for the Bak VP, I've very happy with it but it was a close call. After reading about the noise that cover can make and seeing some have issues with water I switched to the VP. It doesn't even have a drain as it so water tight.

Sounds pretty sloppy. I'd hold their feet to the fire and make them replace the thing.

I get so tired of sloppy contractors. Whether its one of my vehicles or properties. I usually do things myself. Not necessarily to save money, (but sure is a side benefit) but because when I have someone else do it, I usually have to do it over because I hate accepting sloppy work. Getting older now, however, and find I can't so some of the things I used to.

When I find a contractor that takes pride in his work, I try and hold on to them. Haven't found many tho.

Ready.....rant......

Couldn't agree more, I'm in the middle of building my home and acting as my own GC. It's really hard to find someone who cares as much about your project, whatever it may be, as you do. My HVAC guys did a great job and I made sure the owner new that and i'd be using/recommending them in the future.

BedRug - They're going to replace it, I called up there today and told them what a great job the did on the wheels and tonneau but he bed rug was pure sloppy garbage. Not much of a fight... I have to go back there Friday for bumpers/lights anyways so no time lost. I can't believe they turned it loose like that... I picked it up in the dark so I didn't notice it right away but they would never have let their own truck leave like that.
