Out of curiosity why did you remove it if it was held in place by the plastic pop rivets? What problem were you trying to solve?I removed mine. It has 4 plastic pop rivets on the bottom. Took a yard stick and pushed them out while standing in the bed.
I thought about removing mine because I live in the rust belt and I'm concerned about it getting soaked with salty water this winter and not drying out. It may freeze while I'm at work but when it is home in my semi-heated garage it will thaw but not dry.Out of curiosity why did you remove it if it was held in place by the plastic pop rivets?

It was in the way for my tonneau drain tube and didn’t want it back there soaking wet and probably getting moldy over time.Out of curiosity why did you remove it if it was held in place by the plastic pop rivets? What problem were you trying to solve?
Haven’t heard an increase in noise from removing it but I haven’t had it on the interstate yet. Not sure how it would be a noise reduction piece being mounted to the bed and not the back of the cab.It's just there for sound deadening. No, it isn't the greatest solution but it's the cheapest option the manufacturer had. It's likely just a poly felt and shouldn't cause any issues like mold or what have you. Won't hurt to keep it, won't hurt to remove it, though you may get an increase in noise if you do, depending how sensitive your hearing is.
from the images in those two links, this is a completely different thing. Those images show a felt liner that attaches at the top.This doesn’t appear limited to our Rangers:

Is it possible it’s supposed to be there but should be stuck to cab with adhesive, not flapping loose?
Scotland, my most favourite place that I ever visited! Interesting that you have it as well.I am in UK.
Got my Raptor 01-March and noted the same & on drivers side.....and that is interesting as we (in UK) drive on the right hand side...you guys in the USA drive on the left.
I investigated (prior to canopy being fitted) and noted it was definitely a "proper part".
In all it has to be something specific (sound proofing) regarding drive mechanism
Glad you enjoyed your visit.Scotland, my most favourite place that I ever visited! Interesting that you have it as well.
