Gledewen A-Pillar Windscreen Trim for 2011–2019 Ford Explorer — Pair, OEM-fit UV‑Resistant Finish

Gledewen A-pillar windshield trim replacement for 2011–2019 Ford Explorer restores the exterior finish while protecting wiring and clip mounts.

If the decorative molding along your Explorer's windshield edge is cracked, faded, or loose, replacing it prevents further wear to the underlying clips and wiring and returns the vehicle to a factory-fresh look. This kit from Gledewen includes both left (driver) and right (passenger) outer A-pillar appliques engineered to match OEM contours and clip locations for a direct-fit installation.

How does this trim match my 2011–2019 Ford Explorer?

Each applique is molded to the same profile and mounting points found on factory parts and is cross-referenced to original part numbers for compatibility. The kit lists precise fit numbers so you can confirm match before purchasing.

• Compatible years: 2011–2019 Ford Explorer
• OEM cross-reference: BB5Z-7803145-AA and related numbers
• Included parts: left driver and right passenger outer A-pillar appliques
• Exact fit part numbers: 926450/926451 and BB5Z-7803136/37/44/45 series

Will the trim hold up to weather and road wear?

The Gledewen pieces use a dual-layer construction that balances flexibility and surface durability. An inner PP+TPE core absorbs impacts and reduces clip stress while a glossy PMMA outer layer resists UV dulling, scratches, and chalking common to older trims.

• Dual-layer materials: PP+TPE core with PMMA outer finish
• UV-resistant outer layer for longer-lasting gloss
• Scratch- and fade-resistant surface retains appearance
• Foam-wrapped in transit to avoid shipping damage

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

No drilling or body modification is required; the trim snaps into the factory mounting points using upgraded clips. Most installs take about 15 minutes per side and can be completed with basic hand tools and gentle panel pry methods.

• Installation: press-fit into existing A-pillar mounts
• Time: roughly 15 minutes per side
• Tools: basic trim tool or flat plastic pry, gloves recommended
• Clips: upgraded retention clips lock securely at highway speeds
