How does the drain hardware in a tub liner interface with the drain in the original tub? Can the liner drain be removed (disconnected) from the tub drain without damaging the liner?

In 2004 we had a liner installed over our bathtub. We have been totally satisfied with the liner and quality of the work until recently we noticed there is water between the liner and the tub. There is no evidence of any defect in the caulking and no other obvious indication of how water could...
