Cover

2003, f250, 5.4 regular cab xl. Where the top of cab connects to the rear pillar on each side. There is a plastic cover that hides the seam/joint. I have no idea what it would be called except " plastic cover". I can find hoods, grills, doors and fenders and much more online but not that little cover. Anybody have idea where I could find?

Molding, Roof Side. I can't find a complete part number, but Ford's callout for it is 51728. It shows as not available, but a dealer might be able to locate one as NOS or through an aftermarket body supplier.

Well I finally got the corner molding on. Took me over a half day. Most of that time was trying to get the plastic trim out of the way without breaking the 20 year old plastic. Everything on passenger side from the roof light over had to move so I could get headliner down to where I could get to the two screws in the corner. The hand hold on the front pillar, the hand hold above the door, sun visor, front pillar cover, rear pillar cover, hook, seatbelt, door seal and door threshold cover all had to move. All had to move just to get the headliner down about 8 inches. Even the jackass on the hook had to go. A 6 inch 1/4 driver with 11/32 deep socket was the tool needed. But it's done.

The molding is pretty flexible and one of the bolt holes is elongated so that when the nuts are tightened the molding can nestle itself down against the cab pretty good. Installing the molding was the easy part. Getting all the other stuff out of the way was not so easy.
