Dorman 926-451 Passenger Side Windshield A-Pillar Molding For Select Ford Models

Perfect fit

I orderd this product as this had swift delivery next day, however upon our receipt of the package, the product was damaged and its outer trim was broken into 2 pieces whereas the inner part was perfect and replacement gave me an option of delivery in min 2 weeks time.

Excelente producto!!! Muy buena calidad a mitad de precio que la pieza original. La puse yo mismo sin ningún problema, solamente no hay que apretar mucho los tornillos superiores porque se levanta un poco el empaque de hule del parabrisas.

I just installed this set on the passenger side of a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited to replace the existing trim that had come slightly loose and was vibrating at speed. I had a windshield replacement a couple of years ago, and I suspect that the original got damaged during that operation. Upon removal, I found out that both the inner and outer pieces had damage. Notwithstanding what the Ford engineers originally intended, these pieces are essentially sacrificial - once removed, they are toast and must be replaced. This set looks like a factory piece, and it installed exactly the way I expected after watching numerous videos online. It did NOT come with instructions, so it is essential to do your research beforehand. It cannot be overstated how important it is to be slow, careful, and patient when installing this. Between bolts and clips, it attaches to the vehicle in fourteen (14) places and must fit around the windshield, door, hood, and fender. Test fit it multiple times because, once you expose the adhesive strip and/or start snapping clips in place, it's very difficult and risky to try to go backward. Some tips: 1) use something like a wax pencil to mark the locations of the clips on the outside of the outer moulding (write on the protective plastic), so you'll know where to press (gently!!!) to get the clips to snap in 2) start all bolts before tightening any of them; the included soft rubber washers can get in the way, so go slowly and do not cross-thread anything 3) check that the top clip on the existing inner moulding did not remain stuck in the vehicle; if it did, gently pry it out 4) the adhesive sealing strip along the windshield side of the outer moulding is very, very tacky - the protective strip kept tearing as I tried to remove it (it must be removed before you press the moulding into place); this is most delicate and frustrating step; once again, patience pays off The bottom line is that I have no reservation in recommending this. The only feedback I might have for the manufacturer is to make it easier to remove the protective strip covering the adhesive. My plan was to pull one end of it off the side and then use this "tail" to pull the remaining part off once it was on the vehicle and I was ready to snap the clips in place. My plan was foiled when the strip kept tearing into small pieces and I had to back-track. I'd give this 4.5 stars, if that were an option, due to this issue.

was nervous ordering online but it fits perfect and was easy to install.

este producto cumple con todas las expectativas de remplazo para la moldura de la ford explorer. yo mismo lo instale sin problema alguno. muy recomendado. ademas el producto me llego en la mitad del tiempo que marcaba el envio.

Fit nicely, great deal for the inner and outer comparing to dealer pricing. Yes I know it's aftermarket. Matches the OEM side nicely.
