The over the rail liners are moulded differently than the under the rail ones. You CAN trim it, but it might not "sit" tight to bed/inside part of the rail. If you trim it to just remove the top part of the liner (portion that goes over the rail), and leave the part that is against the inside (vertical) part of the rail- you can hold it against it with some screws

Why do you need to trim it? The camper should fit even on an over the rail liner.
The camper has special C-clamp type camper clamps that clamp over the inside camper rail and underneath the lip of the inside bed rail. With the over-the-rail bed-liner, no way to clamp the camper shell down.

Instead of trimming the whole section, what about just notching out sections where needed?
Actually, I thought about that too. Anybody ever cut or notch one, and how hard was it to do? Did you use a razor knife?

I cut triangle shapes in my '01 Ram's bedliner so that I could get to the tie-down points easily. Just used a razor knife, and it cut more easily than you'd think. I agree that you should just cut notches. If for some reason that doesn't work, you can always cut more.
