I ordered the full Bedrug bedliner product from Quadratec as my carpet is not in great shape on my 03 Rubi. I removed all of the carpet so do I need to do anything to the floor other than clean it with alcohol as recommended for adhesion of the velcro tabs. Also, should I remove my drain plugs as I sometimes get caught in rain and the water won't drain with them in.

What does the floor underneath look like? Take care of any rust and I'd definitely pull the plugs so that you don't have to pull the carpet again after its installed. Velcro is great but every time you pull it apart the fibers break down and have the opportunity to collect dirt and grime while it's apart. Just my $.02

Very clean. No rust. I will pull the plugs. Thanks for your advice especially on the velcro or hook and loop as they describe.

The Velco name is trademarked, so any generic versions of it are referred to as "hook and loop" tape. Personally, I'd leave the plugs in and cut out access holes in the carpet for them. Maybe just a + mark so you can fold back the carpet edges when you need to use them, otherwise it's a solid carpet rather can cut a round hole. Otherwise, when you drive in heavy rain you have a little water come up into the body and get into the carpet.

Installed the Bed Rug yesterday. Looks great and fits like a glove. Waterproof, dries in 20 minutes, no mildew, odor, resistant to oil, easy to pull out to clean. Old carpet was smelly.

I'm curious to see how it looks as well. I don't think I'll be installing any in the near future, though, as I just did the Monstaliner job. -
There's supposed to be carpet?
