Love your morals man. Really unfortunate this happened to you. Interested in getting the new 2025 tahoe done in line x but after seeing your truck I have no idea what my plans are now to protect it. Was comfortable paying $6-7k with no door jams done but if this is what it gets me.. bleh
Yo, thanks my friend! I do like the idea of what it could be, honestly unless I had a guarantee from the line x installer and showed them the video and what you don’t want to happen lol, than I would skip it and maybe a wrap for protection. There is also raptor liner which seems to budget for a new truck but it works and you can get a good painter to put it down. Linex has special equipment that heats and mixes than pressurize the materials for gun. Raptor is like a regular paint and hardener but Pretty tuff and tintable just a thought as well. Hope you can get close to what you’re looking for. Paint is nice but always paranoid about scratches and clear coat peeling and all that
Bummer you had that experience... I got my 2006 Avalanche cladding done about 3 years ago and it's going strong. The shop owner is a great guy and they did their prep work on point, even gave me custom wheel flares and a hood "bra" in Line-X. Also, and he explained this to me for the exterior coating, it was important to get the UV additive. It protects the lining from the weather. Literally this weekend (05/31/2024), I'm getting the rest of the truck done by same owner. However, he separated from Line X and is now doing Patriot Liner. In his professional opinion, he said that they are comparable products and Patriot might be a bit better. He said that "hands down" Line-X is better than Rhino Liner and ANY of the DIY covers for long lasting, even application. But then again, he's a shop owner and would say that.. ;-) I'll update once I see how the truck looks completely done with Patriot Liner.
Nice I’m glad you have a reputable owner that cares, I actually did get the UV protected liner but I think they skimped out on the product, seems thinner than it should be, I mean I know it’s not gonna be truck bed thick but some parts that came up are on the thin side, so I’m sure they skimped on the uv additive, either way awesome that your happy with it, I like mine but I just know it wasn’t done right. O well….
Looking in to getting a liner on my little truck someday. I think it is a individual store thing it is a franchise like anything else, some places batter than the others. But hearing how Line-X corporate is ignoring you is disturbing. Yeah lesson learned pre prep yourself.
For sure man, I would say find a good reputable dealer that does good work, the product when done right does do what it’s supposed to do…. That being said if it’s done right than you wouldn’t need to be worried about dealing with corporate warranty crap! I never heard anything back to this day.
