Bed drain holes

[MannyN]

I have an idea. Let's revive an old thread, and beat that dead horse. With a crowbar. And another crowbar. And another crowbar. And another crowbar.

Sounds about right.

He forgot to mention he also used the crowbar to re-open this thread

I used a pry bar, I used a pry bar.......................

The same thing happened to me. I just purchased my 1500 in February, the liner was applied by a third party the dealer uses. We've had a lot of rain in our area lately and I dropped my tailgate yesterday to be greeted by the unmistakable smell of hot, stagnant water. My fault I didn't look closely enough at the application job I guess, but in February in Chicago I just didn't think of the drain holes. Now I'm chasing drain holes and figuring out how to apply water seal gasket to the gaps on the tailgate edges, as it is the only place I can figure out the water got in my cover. Whether this is a re-hashed thread or not, as a new member to the website and a new owner I appreciate having somewhere to go to glean the knowledge and tips on how to find and open up the drain hole.

Have you considered using a crowbar?

I fail to see how a crowbar would work in this application. Someone said prybar, now that would work, or one of those big flathead screwdrivers. Definitely not a crowbar though, it doesn't even make sense....

If you look at a crowbar, it has the same end than a prybar or a flathead screw driver.
