Fits perfect on 2015 Explorer.Dorman seems to pay attention to why factory parts break when designing replacements. This piece includes adhesive to address the factory parts flying off at speed.Everything aligns perfectly and installed easily. After installing the base plate I lightly tested the alignment of the to cover. Don't press down when doing this as the clips are single use. From that point I removed the paper to expose the adhesive, aligned the top-most tab on the cover to the opening in the A pillar, and worked down from there gently engaging the clips as I went.Final product looks great and took about 15 minutes to install, including time spent cleaning up the painted surface under the trim.

I orderd this product as this had swift delivery next day, however upon our receipt of the package, the product was damaged and its outer trim was broken into 2 pieces whereas the inner part was perfect and replacement gave me an option of delivery in min 2 weeks time.

I’ve gone through three tries, one with a different company then two Dorman’s. The first, cheaper company, wouldn’t even stay down at all. The first Dorman didn’t sit flush and had a pretty noticeable gap, but overall it was better than the first company I went through. When I removed it to replace with the new part I ordered, the part shattered and made a pretty good mess. Just got the second one on and it was absolutely perfect. Overall, you’ll have a pretty hit or miss experience when you don’t go through OEM but these seem like your best option out there.

I purchased a cheaper moulding for $52.98 from Amazon which was made in China first. It was a piece of junk, poor quality and did not fit properly. Returned that one and pruchased this Dorman Part # 926-451 from Amazon. Fit perfectly, easy to install in 15 minutes.

Excelente producto!!! Muy buena calidad a mitad de precio que la pieza original. La puse yo mismo sin ningún problema, solamente no hay que apretar mucho los tornillos superiores porque se levanta un poco el empaque de hule del parabrisas.

We bought a used 2011 Ford Explorer and the A-Pillar trim snapped and flew off on our very first road trip. The inside pillar piece was damaged and so it had to get replaced too. Installation was easy--even though there are no instructions. Fit was perfect. In hindsight, pictures would be helpful, but here's the steps I took:1. Remove existing inside pillar trim. Save the bolts.2. The very top most piece of the outside trim snaps into a hole in the frame of the vehicle. When the old one snapped off, it left its clip in that hole. Use a plastic putty knife to get it out without damaging the paint. (Even though it's covered, don't want to scratch the paint and allow an intrusion point for rust.3. Install the inside pillar trim piece. Start at the bottom. Make sure to line up the holes exactly with the bores in the frame. There's a small peg at the top of the inside piece that goes into a hole in the frame to make sure it stays aligned, I guess. I put all the screwbolts in with moderate pressure, then went back around for a final tightening pass. No need to crank on them. Hand-tight is fine.4. Install the outside trim piece. It has a piece of backing paper that you need to pull off that reveals the strip of adhesive that lets it stick to the inside pillar trim. Go ahead and peal off the plastic protection film on the outside, too.Now comes the part where you just go for it. Start at the bottom, and make sure you've got the clips on the underside of the outside trim lined up with their corresponding holes on the outside trim. I used the heal of my hand to smack the outside trim piece so it snaps into the inside trim piece. Start at the bottom, and work your way up. Should be flush. If it's humped up, its not in the clip and you need to give it another smack.And that's it. Good luck!
