Seahag1978 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I was so pleased with the result, the '86 is next up. The bedliner is lifting and cracking and is harboring rust and needs to be gone too. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=16384&cat=1030 The removal process is in my gallery.

baccaruda Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 what was your reason for removing the bedliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahag1978 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 There's no way to keep it from cracking, splitting and lifting, dirt and water get under it and starts rusting... it always looks like crap because you can't keep it clean. My '86 has several spots starting. Bad stuff. We have severe temperature changes here, (100+ degrees in the sun to -15 degrees <wind chill>) so that could be why it's been a problem. Oh, I should probably say, this isn't Rhinoliner or any of the commercially applied spray-ons, it's Duplicolor or other brand sold for DIY consumer use.

The Beast I Drive Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 if i was to do a bed liner it would be 100% rinoline:banana: Rhinoliner all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 ahh. yeah, I Duplicolored the front 10" of the hood on my wagon, it's total crap. You're better off without it. A REAL bedliner would be OK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahag1978 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 When I called the Rhinoliner installer in my area, they wanted $600 to do the BRAT, the guy mumbled something about the seat mounts getting in the way. The Duplicolor was a quick fix for a really bad primer job in my '78. The '86 had it in it already, I think it may be Duraliner that roll-on stuff, it has a different texture. It's cracking and peeling all over too. Even though I haul stuff in the '86 and it's my daily driver, I'm going back to paint and carpet. I'm in the salt belt and it's easier to catch any rust early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
