5.  Do Extang Tonneau Covers work with bed liners?
  Yes, All Extang Tonneau Covers work well with bed liners; however there are a couple of additional steps needed to make your Tonneau Cover compatible with them. If you have an under-the-rail bed liner, you may need small rubber shims to help lift the Tonneau Cover over your tailgate protector. If you have an over-the-rail bed liner, you will need to notch your bed liner so the clamps can go through the liner and wrap around the lip of your truck bed. Accurate instructions for doing this are included with every Tonneau Cover kit.
