Tie-down fastener formed as an integral part of a vehicle cargo liner and the process of making the same. The liner has a first liner surface, which engages the interior surface of the vehicle cargo bed when the liner is a truck bed liner, and a second liner surface opposite the first liner surface. One embodiment includes a washer or nut embedded in and substantially flush with the first liner surface of the liner for the attachment of a screw or bolt therethrough. In a second embodiment, a raised protrusion having a hole therethrough for the attachment of a tie-down thereto extends from the second liner surface and away from the first liner surface of the liner. In another embodiment, a protrusion extending from the second liner surface and away from the first liner surface of the liner is used to fasten a clip, bolt or rod which may, in turn, be used for attachment of a tie-down thereto. Also, an integral rail above the sides of the truck bed liner having a reinforcement member therein and apertures therethrough is disclosed. The tie-down fasteners of the present invention do not require separate installation from the installation of the liner, may be formed on any liner surface, are reinforced and prevent moisture from seeping through the liner to thereby damage the vehicle's cargo bed.
