Product Overview
A loose Explorer A-pillar molding often announces itself before it falls off. Wind noise at highway speed, a fluttering sound near the windshield, or a trim panel that lifts when washed can mean the retaining base or molded clips have cracked.
Ford's passenger-side windshield molding service number includes BB5Z-7803144-AA, which superseded earlier BB5Z-7803136-AA / AB numbers. Replacing both the visible outer trim and its damaged mounting base can prevent a new cover from being installed onto broken old clips.
Key Features & Performance
- Molded to follow the factory body contour
- Designed for the listed side and mounting position
- Restores a finished appearance around the original bumper, pillar, or grille opening
