• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford OEM upper tailgate molding for 2017 through 2022 Ford F-250 F-350 F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks equipped with the integrated Flex Step tailgate, cataloged by Ford as Tailgate Molding Upper and known as the tailgate top trim cap cover molding under part number HC3Z-9941018-AC. This molding is the black trim cap that seats over the outer top edge of the tailgate, protecting the painted upper edge from chips and wear while providing a finished appearance and integrating with the Flex Step step and grab handle mechanism built into the tailgate. Because it lives on the top edge of the tailgate it is constantly exposed to sun, weather, loading impacts, and repeated use of the step, so it commonly fades, cracks, warps, splits at the ends, or gets torn loose, leaving an unfinished or damaged tailgate edge. A buyer looking for this part is usually replacing a molding that is sun bleached, cracked, curling up, or broken where cargo or the step hardware has stressed it. Fitting a new factory molding restores the clean finished top edge of the tailgate and proper protection of the paint, and it is specifically the version for tailgates that include the Flex Step, so it must be matched to a Flex Step equipped tailgate rather than a plain tailgate. Installation involves seating the molding along the top edge and securing it with its clips and fasteners so it snaps down flush and aligned. Because this is the genuine Ford part it matches the original length, contour, clip locations, and Flex Step cutouts exactly so it sits flat and lines up with the tailgate and adjacent trim as the factory intended, avoiding the fit and alignment issues of a substitute cap.
