Abstract
A bed liner has a bottom panel with two upwardly extending side panels and a front panel extending upwardly between the side panels. A front rail extends frontwardly from the front panel and has a lip which extends downwardly. The front rail is adapted to overlie the front rail of a vehicle truck box. The bed liner is thermoformed such that two undercut tabs extend rearwardly from the front rail lip beneath a truck box front rail. The tabs engage within a cavity formed in the front rail and snap in place to hold the liner fixed with respect to the truck box. Portions of the liner front panel are undercut to extend horizontally beneath the liner front rail towards the undercut tabs.
