  Belt Molding Clip, Molding Windshield

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford original-equipment belt molding retainer clip, catalog number W714702-S439, used on the Ford Flex from the 09 through 19 model years to secure the exterior belt-line window molding to the door. The clip snaps into the molding and locks against the door sheet-metal flange, holding the belt-line trim tight to the top edge of the door panel where the glass meets the sheet metal. Ford catalogs this part under the windshield/belt molding hardware group as the molding clip that anchors the chrome or black belt strip running along the base of the side glass. Buyers searching for this clip are usually dealing with a belt molding that has lifted, bowed outward, or come loose at one end after the original clip aged, cracked, or released, leaving the trim flapping or buzzing at highway speed and allowing wind noise around the door glass. A failed clip can also let the molding chatter against the glass or scratch the paint. Because the clip is a snap-in retainer, the original often breaks or loses its spring tension when the molding is pried off, so fresh hardware is needed to restore a tight, even fit. As a genuine Ford component it matches the original locking geometry and flange grip exactly, so it seats in the factory holes and engages the molding without forcing or distorting the trim. Installing the correct original clip returns the belt molding to a flush, rattle-free fit and re-seals the door glass margin against wind and water intrusion. This listing is for the genuine Ford clip built to original specification.
