I need to remove my bedliner to drill a couple of holes in it to install an accessory rail for the tonneau cover that I just purchased, but from what I have read online it seems as though the plugs that hold the bedliner in place cannot be removed without breaking them off. (See picture of plug attached). Does anyone know: A) Can they be removed without breaking them? or B) If they must be broken off, where can I buy extras?

I don't even know what part to look for to find an extra pair of plugs. Any help is much appreciated!

Yes, I needed to do the same when I installed my Truxedo Deuce! These plugs can be removed and re-used if you are careful! Use a flat object like a putty knife or even better a plastic rivet removal tool such as this available at Amazon, Advance Auto, etc..

If for some reason you can't re-use them, you can find round "Christmas Tree" fasteners that will fit the spot at any auto parts store.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I actually do have that rivet removal tool, I was just afraid to try it without asking here first.

Love how every question I have on this forum someone has already answered!
Well now that it's answered, it's time to derail this thread and talk about dampers, stoves, graphene, or something equally important!
