Your thread was moved to this one. There are several pictures that may address your question regarding the 'A' pillar. Has yours come off or is it lose? If replacing the item, be sure to get new clips with it.Anyone that has replaced the two piece
A pillar molding; is there any trim adhesive under the part that bolts to the vehicle? Thanks in advance
I'd stick with OEM parts and you will need new clips as well. I believe Ford now packages them with the molding.Driving at highway speeds, the driver A-pillar cover detached flew off from the '17 Sport with no warning, luckily did not hit heavy traffic behind me.
Bought explorer new, never ran through car wash, always hand wash, never in an accident. Looks like the plastic tabs just gave due to the vehicle speed and perhaps helped that it's winter ~32F.
I'm going to report to the NHTSA, can't believe this isn't a recall yet, since this can easily cause an accident if the cover flies off and hits the vehicles behind.
Any good/cheap source for a replacement cover?

FINALLY, there is a recall. Biner Ford (where I had the work done the second time) said I will receive a refund once the recall goes into full effect mid 2024.
I would reccomend bringing the car in and having Ford do the repair with Ford parts. To much liability if you do it yourself and it fails again. Flying debris can cause major accidents.
