Hey, so I am new to the forum but, not new to Expedition ownership. Now that my truck is 8 years old it needs a little aesthetic help. I recently replaced the headlights, taillights, mirrors, fog lights, and replaced most of the halogen bulbs with leds. Now it is time to tackle the nasty window sills and trim. Does anyone know where I can purchase these, other than a dealer maybe?

I was wondering the same about the rubber trim. I have a few places where mine is a little torn. Be it from kids or just wear and tear.

Mine is an `07. I like those headlights, look factory. I've also replaced all my interior bulbs and puddle lights (mirrors) with LEDs. Nice upgrade.

Yeah, I removed the metal trim in the sill because it looked so terrible. I live in Texas so it gets pretty hot in the summer. And thanks, I just finished replacing the interior lights with LEDs and it is much better than the hot halogens. My turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights have all been replaced with LED bulbs. Aswell. It looks so much better. I've still got to replace the wiper cowl and rims because they look like crap. But the window sills are really holding it back and I need to find a way to fix/ replace it.

I had mine for about a year now, bought if of my parents. Been upgrading, fixing little things as I go. I also recently added WeatherTech floormats front, 2nd row which helps with the kids baseball and cleats! Tinted the whole thing as the factory tint is really just smoked glass and offers no real protection from UV or heat. Made a huge difference and my A/C is able to keep up now.

I have a few other little things, but its a process...

Thanks!

Yep, same here. Except we've had ours since it was new back in '08. Now, I just began upgrading and replacing little things here and there. All in the name of improvement! It is a process, and a redeeming (and expensive) process...

Sorry for the late reply.

I am also missing a piece of one of them. And they look terrible. If I could find where to purchase them, I will.
