2010 XLT Tailgate Trim Needed

CChamp7 · Feb 6, 2023

All,
I have 2010 XLT. The black trim on my tailgate top came off as the fasteners were all broken. Any suggestions for online parts places where I can get an OEM replacement?
Thanks!

Tried your local scrap yards?

I bought an OEM one from a Ford dealer in Florida a couple of years ago when they were a bit cheaper. I would not get one from a scrap yard because you would have a high likelihood of broken fasteners. The number of new ones for sale in the links given above give the choice of an OEM one or a Chinese knock-off.

Just be careful when you take the tailgate back panel off not to break the fasteners on that piece.
