OEM Bed Mat aka the Flying carpet

Anybody else have this problem? Drove my truck through the tunnel wash today, I look back and the damn thing is hovering about 3 inches above the bed rails.... Couldn't believe it didn't completely fly out. Tempted to go back through just to get video of it. Didn't think this thing could float out as it's pretty heavy.

 

Please do.

 

Haha I'd watch it.

 

You're supposed to drink the eggnog and not smoke it.

 

worried about you smitty

 

Oh Smitty...didn't the doctor tell you not to skip your meds?

 

Mine recently started flapping around. I'd see the back of it in my rear view mirror. I didn't hover like yours though.

I ended up making some aluminum brackets to hold the back down. Never had issues with the front.

 

Maybe it was the "magic bars" my wife's grandma sent???

 

mine doesnt hover when I hit those, it flops around like flipper trying to break off a coconut while carrying the skipper.

 

You could try using the bed for more things than Christmas ornaments?

 

Did you not see my pic of the bed filled with 1.08tons of topsoil?

 

No. Are you sure it wasn't Fairy dust?

 

Magic bars... there ya go bro. Eat a few of them next time thru the tunnel wash you might be the one floating, just sayin..... I'd hit them fer sure!

Then to the tunnel wash we go open the window, get you hair done and thru the drier... good to go. Done and done.

 

Today when I was blowing my driveway with a leaf blower after I cut my lawn, a small flower pot tipped over when the leaf blower was aimed at it. Couldn't believe it didn't completely fly away. Tempted to go back and get a video of it.

 

the bed mat is the Howling noise from the rear Differential he says he is hearing, better get Toyota Corporate on the phone ASAP

 

Wow ... that there post is a howl.. bro.

 

I removed the two bed mount bolts near the cab area, drill two holes into the mat and reinstall the two bolts through the mat. Easy and works great.

Had an old wore out one do this in my S10.... It didn't for years, but eventually started.

This truck hasn't had this problem before the tonneau.
