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

Derailing this thread a bit but I am super curious about this bike rack also? I was dead set on a Recon Rack but the LOLO looks interesting and is cheaper. The only thing I can come up with is a worry about hanging a bike by the carbon bars but even that I am thinking isn't an issue. Maybe we should start a bike rack thread.

Did anyone ever get a clear answer on this?

My 2019 Ford Expedition Max (Limited) just returned from the dealer with no luck finding/installing this roof trim. They had a non-Max version with the roof trim on the sales lot, but that didn't seem to help. They stated the parts catalog for the Max version doesn't have this trim as an option, so it doesn't exist. This sounds like BS to me.

If anyone has a part number for the Max trim pieces, or a VIN of a 2018 or 2019 Max that has the trim...I would be greatly appreciative.

At this point, I just want to prove them wrong! :)

It’s true. There is no part number for the plastic trim. I have it on mine but it’s the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.

May 2019 XLT Max does not have trim pieces. Is there a possibility the trim piece is a component of the roof side rails? That could be why it doesn't show up in part list. They may have to order the full side rail assemblies to get the trim pieces.

This is the parts diagram the dealership service advisor showed, saying that the trim isn't on the diagram...so it doesn't exist. I just think he's lazy.

I took delivery of my 2021 Limited in Nov of 2021 and it too has these spot welds visible under the roof rack. In front of the roof rack they have trim pieces covering the welds but not under the rails. I never noticed it until i read this post.
