PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
Subject:
Information on Accessory Bed Liner Installation for Vehicles Equipped With Upper
Tie-Downs
Models:
2014 Chevrolet Silverado Light Duty
2014 GMC Sierra Light Duty
Attention: This PI only applies to vehicles with bed liner part numbers 23123699, 22879299,
23123698 and 22879300.
Condition/Concern
During installation of the bed liner, technicians/installer may find that some vehicles may have upper tie-downs
installed in the (front and rear) side locations of the pickup bed. However there are no access holes in the liner that
match these tie-down locations.
Recommendation/Instructions
Locate and drill four 5 cm (2.0 in) holes in the accessory bed liner to accommodate the upper tie-down locations. The
following graphics contain dimensions for locating the center of these hole positions. Holes should be marked and
drilled from the outside of the bed liner.
Left Side: Front (1) and Rear (2) Locations

Left Front Location Dimensions
3462932
(1) = 11 mm (0.43 in)
(2) = 120 mm (4.75 in)
Left Rear Location Dimensions
3468346
Important: To better control the accuracy of the rear locations, it is critical to mark the location of the horizontal line
first. Measure the distance upward (1) in several areas, and using a marker or tape, position a line at that level.
Then, along that line, mark the intersecting point for the second measurement (2).
(1) = 21 mm (0.825 in)
(2) = 38 mm (1.5 in)
Right Side: Front (3) and Rear (4) Locations
3462934
Right Front Location Dimensions

(1) = 11 mm (0.43 in)
