KARPAL Tailgate Molding Trim for Ford F150 2015-2020 — Black Replacement Step Cap with Release Button, Flexible Weather-Resistant

KARPAL's Tailgate Molding Trim is a direct-fit replacement step cap for 2015–2020 Ford F150 trucks, providing a flexible protective cover with an integrated release button to protect the top edge of the tailgate.

This tailgate trim is engineered to replace factory part numbers such as FL3Z9940602B and FO1904135 (including variants FO1904135C/D/DSC/N/P).

How durable is the replacement tailgate step cap in real-world use?

Is installation difficult and will I need special tools?

Installation is designed to be straightforward and requires no complex bodywork or vehicle modifications. The trim aligns with the factory mounting points and the existing release button, so you can swap it using basic hand tools in most cases.

• Installation instructions included; customer support available

What should I verify before ordering this tailgate molding?

Confirm your truck’s year and model (2015–2020 Ford F150) and compare existing part numbers with the supported OEM references. If your current tailgate uses a different cap or you have a Super Duty, this product will not be compatible.

• Check vehicle: Ford F150 (2015–2020 only)
• Match existing part number to FL3Z9940602B or FO1904135 variants
• Verify release-button style and mounting for fitment
• Contact KARPAL support for fitment questions before purchase
