You can order that from the dealer. I've heard it's not too expensive. Should be a screw or two per piece for installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41deacon Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Check ebay. They sell the kind that attaches using 3m tape. It is stainless steel and is a good product. I used it on my 2006 Explorer and it looked awesome. Several different places sell them cost from $88.00-$99.00 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLap Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'd just stop by your LFD and have them price it out for you.Generally beltline moulding attaches by clips that are part of the backside of the moulding. When you remove your orig beltline mouldings be very patient or these plastic clips will snap off and you wont be able to reuse the mouldings. Have learned this the hard way (on more than one occaision) If you do the chrome beltline mouldings also look into the chrome mounlding that goes across the rear hatch right under the rear glass (surrounding the Ford blue oval), Looks good with the chrome beltline mouldings on teh Limited. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watercooler Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I checked on this, and the chrome trim under the windows is an easy swap out with new parts from dealer. The parts do add up though ($). However the chrome trim under the rear quarter windows is part of the actual window. So changing that out with OEM parts means changing both rear quarter windows! That's too much for me. So I will be buying a set of those chrome adhesive overlays from ebay in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attana Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have the Limited and am dechroming. I used black vinyl tape but would like to order the black molding. If in fact the rear windows need replaced it is not worth the cost of trouble. To bad i don't know how to remove the molding or we could do a swap.

LevittownFordSuperCenter Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 If there is some people interested in a chrome "kit" let us know we can put something together and add it to the accessory site rather than looking up all 6? pieces . The ease or difficulty of install can make this a popular mod or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
