O.E. style replacement Rockers for Gen 4 (06-10) Explorers EDIT - Update 6-27-2021 See post #3

I just bought my second "Gen 4" Explorer 3V V8 to replace our last one that now has 250K on it. The new one (2010) will need the rockers replaced, but the rest of the truck is solid, and in great shape. I was wondering if anyone has successfully used 02-05 Explorer O.E. style replacement rockers (not "slip on") to replace them on a 06-10. They look like a direct fit, and the inner rocker is the same part number from Ford, but in the world of you never know, I'd love to hear from someone that has completed this, specifically for these years.

Thank you,
Brian

Watching this, my 06 is also solid all around except of the rear rockers, they are rusted through.

I ordered the O.E. style rockers for a 2002-2005 Explorer, and they look like they will fit 06-10 Explorers. I won't be performing this repair until Fall 2021. My guess is that the 06-10 models have additional holes for weatherstrip. Although I didn't confirm 100%, they look like an exact match to me.
