Wanting to know if anyone has used this in an exterior application? Removed BedRug in my truck and need to replace Velcro to reinstall in new truck.

I would think that as long as the surface is clean, it should not be a problem!

We have only used this in interior applications although it is very strong so it may work in an exterior application as well.

I've used it on the interior of my car and it does not work well if there is any weight on it. The sun heats up the interior of the car in the summer and it causes the Velcro to come off.

I used this as a carpet on a truck that didn't come with any fabric or heat shield. I put the foil side toward the heat source and the fabric side toward me. As far as spray adhesive, if you want a really custom form fitting install, this may be difficult because the fabric didn't mold well for me around detailed shapes and curves. If your install is mostly straight and 90 degree corners then I would imagine you could use adhesive to keep it against the metal of the vehicle. I personally did not, I'm using it more like a mat that I can remove if dirt or debris collects under the heat resistant foil side.

I have it mounted on the top of the receiver hitch pointed at the trailer ball. That way I can use it to align the ball with the hitch. When the trailer isn't on the truck I can see behind the truck without any obstruction.It's velcrow'd to the ball and I used a couple of heavy duty tie wraps.2 years+ and 40,000 miles later and it hasn't moved.Hope this helps.

Heat & noise reducer goes under whatever liner you choose. Seriously consider using HNR and Al's Liner as the topcoat over it. I did my entire wrangler inside and out. It came out awesome.I hadn't had much luck durability wise with bedliner paints. You will be recoating every few years with a paint. After using Al's liner, I won't recommend anything else.

The problem on some trucks is the post interfere with the rear well indents in the bed. I cut thruholes on my Tacoma so it could be installed over those and at extreme corners of bed.. Works great

I used to reattach my trucks tailgate large Ford emblem. I live in East County San Diego where temps have exceeded 100* several times this year. So far, so good.

It shouldn't bother anything as long as the spray on liner holds where you stick on the Velcro. This is my second BedRug I had one on a previous truck. It's a very good product

First, do you have a bed liner in your truck? I do and I had this issue. I cut out enough area to make it drop all the way down and it works great. I really like my hitch extender.

I would be careful. It's pretty strong stuff, and I noticed it has removed stain on wood when there was a clear coat over it, so obviously it went through the finish. I would never use it on the exterior of any vehicle. Better safe than sorry. You might want to use something like fiberglass magic if they sell it still and if not, a power washer.

Yes, it is via velcro. I have only taken it off once (to clean it) but I had no problem doing so or reinstalling it.

I don't believe having a bed liner will be any issue. Do you still have a way to tie down the tires - they tend to bounce if not. I tied down each tire at the eye ring built into my truck bed. The clamp can open quite wide on rail. Hope this helps.

mine was gone after a few months - fell out somewhere, and i only go on fairly smooth city roads.I had previously used a similar product that held the spray on with velcro wraps (like a burrito) and had good results for many years, until the bike (and spray) was stolen. Im now back to using the velcro version again.

I put a outside rubber floor mat in the bottom and have never had a problem with the bottom the sides after 3 years are fine but the top if you allow things to run can at the joints become frayed sort of or are the first to wear out, but patching with thread and needle works fine like you would repair any tear ... My next wagon I am going to reinforce. The edges at the joints with cloth patches. Not a big issue though even after 3 years and I use it a couple of times a week! Lots of use ... For heavier loads I made a cardboard bottom ... And for the edges a cardboard bumper for sharpe items .

The back is hollow and they supply you with the necessary mounting hardware. I don't think I would trust velcro for this application.

My experience with their mounting tape is that it doesn't work well, so I purchased Velcro with an adhesive backing and it works like a charm.

I have used sheet metal screws on an application and it worked just fine. Be sure the use a similar screw size. Go for it!

I just had the same issue with my van, I had to replace the headliner board and headliner material. I used this material and attached it to 5mm underlayment from home Depot. It's flex able enough yet sturdy.
