Question about plastic covers in bed.

[InFamous]

I had my spray in liner done and picked it up today. I noticed that these plastic covers are loose. I pried out the tabs a bit and there a little more snug but still a bit loose. I honestly don’t remember them on my 4th Gen Ram. I don’t know if they were loose before the liner was put in, wasn’t really paying attention. So two questions.

1) Does anyone know if they were loose before the liner?

2) What are they for/what are they covering up and its purpose?

P.S. I know they’re covering up holes...

Those openings are for the bed lights that come with certain options, like the Bed Utility Group, and I think they're available on some of the higher-end models, like the Limited and Limited Longhorn, but someone else may correct me on that. Here's an install video that provides more information:

Thank you for the quick answer, I sort of figured that may be what they are for.

Anyone else's loose before/after install of spray in liner?

Mine are tight.

Mine are tight.

With a spray in liner or without?

 

[MannymanX]

Spray liner.

Thanks man. The clips definitely aren't broken so maybe I just have to bend them back out a bit more.

When I picked my truck up only my passenger side one was loose. I have factory spray-in. Modified it a bit and it's snug now.

What exactly did you do to "modify" it? Just curious in case prying out the tabs don't work out.

My bed liner was done after I bought the truck, and the company that did the liner left the covers in. So they were nice and tight because they had bed liner over the top. I had to cut them out when I installed the OEM bed light kit.

Guess I'll just have to install OEM light kit to solve this issue...
