Post is 3 years old, and the OP only has 19 post so I think it's safe to say this is a no-go boss

Looks like they install in place of the old covers. I would bet the old ones come off and these go in there place.

Actually nope. I'm very glad I have these, but I'm less than thrilled with the mounting design. Luckily I brought the Excursion home tonight, so I was able to easily get these pics.

You actually drill holes into the carpeted part of the barn door panel and push the little butterfly type clips through, which came with the kit.

That's all fine and dandy, but the door panel itself isn't held on with much. It has become loose over the years, and now half of it is completely disconnected. I'm careful when I open/close the door so it has not come off yet. I haven't fixed it because I haven't figured out a good way to attach it (that doesn't look redneck of course). No doubt it has started coming off thanks to me putting too much weight in the bin.

The left barn door bin is nowhere near as big. There's a small bin that doesn't even hold a quart jug of oil, and then there's a mesh pouch. So it hasn't held nearly the weight despite it being larger, so I've had no problems with it.

For size comparison below, that is my 2.5" reducer tube to 2" for the hitch, and in the bag just beyond it is a spare degas bottle cap.

I apologize for the smudges on the door panel. That's unacceptable and surprising that they were put there in the first place let alone not cleaned off yet. As you can see with the colors though, these bins are Medium Parchment, not Medium Pebble. But they function well, and that's most important. It matches the overhead console anyway.

I have the original installation instructions if anyone would like to see them.

So would you buy them again or skip them if you had it to do all over again?

I think I'd do them again. There's very little storage in the back otherwise, and the one bin in the picture there really is quite large. Only downside is to make sure cargo in the back doesn't hang over the plastic sill plate, because the bin sticks in about that far.

They're not the most efficiently designed parts, but they are definitely better than having nothing there!

These are like the Ford Accessory mudflaps now though, once you have a set, hold onto them dearly.

I would like to have some nice factory fit molded rear mud flaps.

I always thought the rear door panels were screwed to the doors. If you have trouble with the panels loosening I would look for a spot in the carpet area to put a couple screws at the top to hold the panel to the door. Drill a pilot hole in the door first so it doesn't crack when you put the screws in.

Not a clue. I imagine Ford Accessories have cleared out the inventory of these long ago, but you could ask your dealer. They should be able to search the country for them. Otherwise, idk. Watch eBay. I bet they are rare.

Russ tried to get a set last year I think and found out that they were all sold out. So unless you found someone with a NOS set, you're stuck with going with an aftermarket one, which is similar, but I don't think it looks as nice.

That's probably what I'll have to do. IIRC, the panel is held on with the snap clips like the door sill plates are held down with.

There won't be an aftermarket of these, we were talking about the mudflaps on that
