Had anyone noticed Bed liner overspray from factory?

[Rangeo]

I have some on passenger side right above the rear tire on the edge of the plastic bed rail. Noticed it today after a week of ownership. Mildly pissed off. Any way to get rid of it?

You can try washing it off with some dish detergent and warm water then wax the area after. If that doesn't work a clay bar or clay mitt with some lube (speed detailer) should work. Just use a lot of lube and go side to side with light pressure and not in circular motions. It looks like it's a lite overspray so this should come off pretty easy for you.

When in doubt Tannerite in atleast a 2lb can.

I’m quite well acquainted with tannerite, and the only thing I know it fixes is throwing a tire 40ft straight up in the air

Thank you, I’ll give this a shot. Is goo gone too aggressive?

Not at all but just rub it lightly and re-wax.

I was very concerned about this... Got bullet liner at a reputable shop that was a bit further away than others with worse reviews and had zero issues with this. Good luck, that would really piss me off too.

Maybe bug and tar remover? Just don't use acetone

If you google it up, one site says to use acetone, but I would hesitate due to the possibility of Ford using water based paints, or harming the clear coat.
Another site suggests using plain old rubbing alcohol....apply it to the overspray, let it soak in, and wipe it off with clean paper or terry cloth towel.
Another site suggests using and dabbing olive oil on the area, let soak in and wipe off.

I read on here that 2 guys with vice grips can take the Ford bedliner right off .

I used acetone to get some tree sap off one of my vehicles after regular nail polish failed to remove it, took the sap right off and took the paint down to the metal, won't make that mistake again.

Yes, there's a video posted somewhere on the forum that shows the Ford factory bedliner being peeled off using pliers. Liner was applied directly over paint with no prep other than a possible wash down.
Another shows several guy's using hammer and chisels to remove a bedliner...bed was properly prepped and scuffed.
Shows the difference between install on an un-prepped bed, and a properly scuffed bed....
Scuffed and prepped bed...it's there to stay.

Just how many factory bedliners have flew off beds or are there just guys with pliers running around that we have to worry about ?

Point is that when you order a factory spray liner, your paying for a sub-par product. Not only is it not prepped right, several have commented on it's being very thin toward the top of and under the bed rail.
If you were seeing that same type job on a Line X or other after market applied liner, you would scream bloody murder.
No, it's not gonna "fly off", but why would pay for, and accept a sloppy job/product ?
