Abstract
A vehicle cargo area liner, such as a pickup truck bed liner, is affixed to a vehicle wall using a pin-and-socket affixation device. The rounded free end of the pin permits an upstanding panel of the liner to have a substantial draft with respect to the vehicle wall. Use of one, two or more of the affixation devices prevents separation of the liner from the pickup truck bed in windy conditions.
