Are there supposed to be trim pieces under the bars on the roof?

[fishrising]

Are there supposed to be trim pieces under the bars on the roof? Sure looks like there are supposed to be. Even seems to have cut outs on the end for a piece to slide in to. At 6’7” I can see this every time I’m by my Expy. Don’t like looking at what appears to rivets/welds and the unfinished look.

My dealer claims mine didn’t come with these pieces but earlier builds might have.

Do you or don’t you have trim pieces under the rail?

And is it something I can order?

I am picking mine up in 2 hours, it is a mid July build. I will let you know when I get home.

There's gotta be some available to order.
This is from my 2019 Platinum. I still see some welds but there's a black plastic trim piece that is there.

2018 for the win!!

Well I can take a good picture of the 2019 "for the win" as well! I'm competitive.

Just to follow up on my previous post, my July 2019 build XLT does not have the trim pieces.

Haha. I guess I don’t know what your first picture was of as I don’t see any welding. I must have taken mine wrong.

It was from the front. The welds are more visible above the doors

I still don’t see it on mine anywhere. But I believe you. Maybe because mine is white it is less obvious?

 

[AAOO]

My welds are a mix between your two and I have the black trim piece as well. The welds aren’t as visible as the red one but are just visible under the black trim piece. Just went and took another look. The passenger sides welds are more visible than the drivers side. Strange...

2018 platipus 9/2018 build date.

No trim covering on my ‘19 stealth edition.

No covering trim on my '19 limited max special edition. I actually noticed this when I was doing my final inspection and thought it was odd... A magnetic stealth right next to it was the same way so I figured it was normal.

This is looking back from the passenger side just above the rear window.

Yours is better. I concede.
Same parts, but yours was assembled with better alignment

My 2018 limited has the trim pieces. 6/18 build

That may be the first time anyone has ever complemented the fit and finish of a Ford.

(I’m joking, I’m a Ford guy from before it was cool)

Well, what they did so well on Aggie's and Bow's, they made up for with inconsistency!
Yay Ford!

That’s more like what I traditionally hear re the Big 3...good job!

2019 platinum has the trim

 

[duneslider]

My 2019 XLT has black plastic trim pieces under there. And if I were 8 feet tall I could see that the roof panel is welded to the side panels but since I am only 5' 10" I can't see the welds unless I get a ladder.

Thanks all! Now to see if I can order the pieces for my 19XLT.
