Gledewen A-Pillar Windshield Trim Molding for 2011–2019 Ford Explorer — Pair, OEM-Fit Outer Trim & Inner Bracket

Gledewen's A-pillar windshield trim molding kit replaces damaged decorative trim on 2011–2019 Ford Explorer models, restoring appearance and protecting windshield wiring and brackets.

If the decorative strip along your Explorer's windshield is cracked, warped, or has come loose, this two-piece driver and passenger molding kit is a direct-fit replacement manufactured to meet OEM fit and finish. Sold as a pair (left driver and right passenger assemblies), the kit includes both the outer trim and the inner bracket so you can swap the pieces in one service visit. Gledewen supplies these parts factory-direct so you get a brand-new, tested component without the dealer markup.

How does this trim restore my Ford Explorer’s look and function?

Replacing split or faded windshield molding immediately improves the vehicle's curb appearance while also covering and protecting the wiring and clips beneath. The outer decorative strip re-establishes the smooth profile along the windshield edge, and the inner bracket secures the assembly to the body, preventing wind noise and water intrusion from loose edges.

• Restores factory-style exterior finish and paintline continuity.
• Covers wiring and retains OEM routing to reduce wear from exposure.
• Inner bracket provides secure attachment to prevent popping and rattles.

Will this kit fit my specific Explorer year and OEM part number?

Yes — the Gledewen kit is designed for 2011 through 2019 Ford Explorer models and replaces the listed OE part numbers for both driver and passenger sides. Each piece is tested for dimensional accuracy and vehicle fit so installation is direct without trimming or modification.

• Compatible with 2011–2019 Ford Explorer models.
• Replaces OE numbers such as BB5Z-7803137-XX and BB5Z-7803145-AA (driver) and corresponding passenger numbers.

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward for a DIYer or a technician and typically takes about 30 minutes per side when following basic removal and reuse steps. The molding is manufactured to OE dimensions so it slips into place without forcing, and the bracket aligns with existing mounting points.

• Approximate install time: 30 minutes for replacement of old trim.
• Standard hand tools (screwdriver, trim tool, possible torx set) required.
• No adhesive or body modification required when used on compatible Explorers.
