Been doing some research, but first....
I have a 2013 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x. I have a utilitrack - and a spray-in bedliner.
From my research, I understand that I'll have to pry out the plastic closure and use a Tap 8mmx1.0 pitch to thread the holes. From there I could purchase the OEM tie-down hooks and install the fixed bed extender bracket between the hook and the bedliner using the supplied screws that come with the tie-down hooks.
Am i on the right track? Is there best method to using a tap? Never used one before.

So I had the same problem, and first of all you don't need to tap the holes for the screws. All you need is a small flathead screwdriver to clear the bedliner out of the threads. I don't remember the bolt size that you need, but the bolt that is the closest to the top of the tailgate on the tailgate latch is the same size. I took it to home depot and got 4 of those and some washers, and it bolted right up. The boltswill take a little bit of torqueing to clear out all of the bedliner, but they seat nicely. Hope this Helps!
