Default Who has under coated there 2013,s?

I paid 400.00 to have my 2013 SLT Bighorn under coated. They used about 12 cans of 3m 08883 under coat. I had to take it back because it was,nt complete.Looking at it last night on the rockers there is square pieces of tape ,covering round holes. They sprayed over the tape. Would,nt it make sense to remove that tape and spray under coat into the rocker? I never had a vehicle coated before so don,t know what to expect. Feed back appreciated. Don

If they had pulled the tape off It wouldn't stick back on the rocker after you sprayed it. Then you would have these holes so mud ,dirt and water could get in there. They might have pulled the rubber plugs out to spray inside, then put them back.

If it was mine, I would expect them to pull the tape and do inside. Is it possible they did remove it, spray in there and put tape back on? I was looking at mine, and I think the holes you are talking about are used to mount the running boards/bars?

Ram Tuff i know what your saying about the holes being covered for a reason IE keep out debris. It doesn't look like its been removed,but on some of the pieces, the edges are curled a bit.I wonder if a body plug is made for the those holes? Seems a plug would be more durable than a piece of tape!! CHRGD i don,t have my tube steps yet,so not sure where they mount to. I'm with you on getting it sprayed. My last truck 2002 Ram Quad , the rockers were rotted bad and i washed that truck religiously.The under rocker plug has been sprayed over with rock guard by the dealer, so not sure they got inside.

I bought a new 2013 sport about 3 weeks ago and there are little rubber plugs along the bottom of the rockers. Now when I undercoat my truck, I will be pulling them out and spraying in there.
