I bought my Frontier used a few months ago and knew at the time the bedliner had a ding in it (about the size of a dime down to the metal).  I figured I'd just patch it and move on.

I was looking around the forum to see what the brand is so I could take it in and get it fixed.  I wasn't sure if it was Duraliner or Rhino...

Then I saw a post that said it had a lifetime warranty.  Since I bought the truck used I didn't know that.  Is there some documentation I need to take somewhere or just tell the dealer?

Thanks.

I think you need to find out whether it was farmed out by the dealership to a company that did it before the truck was actually sold or whether the previous owner did it after purchase.  Mine was done after I purchased the truck, so no recourse there.  If it was done by the dealership you might have some recourse with them.  Otherwise, you'll have to speak to whatever aftermarket company put it in.  Mine was done by Bulldog Liners, and it has a lifetime non-transferrable warranty for the original purchaser.

There are two types of spray-in liners... low pressure and high pressure.  Low pressure is very inexpensive but doesn't have the durability of high pressure.  Many auto parts stores sell the low pressure, in the form of spray bombs, so that you can do it yourself.  There's even some type of "roll-on" box liner available, so I was told, but you get what you pay for.  High pressure is usually heated as well and is for whatever reason more durable especially when the prep (sanding/scuffing) is done correctly.  High pressure also has a nicer appearance with a fine pebble texture and glossier look, and not the "stucco"-like flat trowelled-on appearance.

You may want to have a look inside the box of the truck to see if they affixed a little label underneath the lip of the box (they did that with mine) which shows the name of the liner company.  If it's not there, then I'd suspect a less expensive product has been used in your product.  That means you should be able to touch up that little spot with a small brush and dab some onto the spot.  

Contrary to popular opinion, spray in boxliners can still be damaged.  If you're doing anything where you drop cargo (like gravel or firewood), get yourself a piece of plywood and put it down on the floor of the box.  You can stand it up in the garage when not in use, and it'll save you from dents which can chip the liner if it hits it the right way.  I spent the big bucks on my "better quality" box liner, only to put a dent in one of the wheelwells with a quad wheel at the wrong angle.  But the boxliner itself didn't crack or peel...

Well, since you have an SE, it is not the factory spray in liner (only Nismo/LE models with utili-trak) and the Nissan warranty does not apply. So as the poster above indicated, you will have to figure out if the dealer did an aftermarket spray-in for the customer (like mine did) or if the previous owner did it themselves... and if they did it themselves if it was a DIY job or after-market.

My 2007 Nissan Frontier SE Crew Cab (4X4) had a factory spray in bed liner and Utilitrak!  I'd take it to the dealer and ask.

Really? Did you get your 2007 towards the end of the model year? I see in the US, it's now standard/available on SE V6 for 2008, but I didn't think it was in 2007.

Still only on LE/Nismo here in Canada... WTF with the discrepancy?

Oh well, my after market liner is a bit better than the factory one. But I wish I had utilitrak!

Jers, I bought it last August 10.  It was in inventory on the dealer's lot for about two months.  So figure a May build date or thereabouts.

I got it used in November with 25k miles on it so I would assume it was bought early in the cycle.  I can't remember what CarFax showed for dates.

It's definitely a 2007 SE with utilitrak and a factory liner.

I just didn't know there was a lifetime warranty.  Is there anything that came with it like a warranty card that says what to do if it's damaged?
