They are missing on my 2019 as well. There are whole threads on the topic.

Ok so they just aren’t supposed to be there? Didn’t know if it was one of those things where they just didn’t install them.
Correct, there is nothing installed there to cover the welds.

I haven’t wanted to ask this, glad to know there’s nothing wrong there. Man that’s hideous though. (And yes, I’m 6’5” so I can see it each time I walk up to the car without being on a ladder.)

its odd too cause there are plastic tabs just sitting there like they should be held down.

Thanks for asking the question, been wondering the same thing. I had a peak on the dealer lot and they all had the welds exposed. Ford cheaper out.

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

Curious now if anyone with a 22+ model has the phantom trim piece.

Out of curiosity I just checked, and my late October 2018 build has them. I'm sure that Ford considered them to be one of those "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" accessories like the foam engine covers that were "discontented" in

Literally signed up to this site to literally discuss this issue.
I've already been back and forth to the dealer regarding other issues and I noticed this maybe a month into having the truck. I did ask the dealer and they said there's nothing that's supposed to go there, however on my follow-up call my service advisor said him and the parts guy found the pieces (they think). Of course, the dealer is not willing to cover the cost and I was quoted $330 for both sides. If it matters, I have a 2019 XLT.

@LegalBrief but would you? Going to peak at Lincoln's on the lot tonight.
@RGarone421 did you happen to get a parts number?

He didn't give me the part number as I was completely uninterested after they let me know the Sales manager wasn't going to cover it.
