Anyone know if you can buy this after the fact? My Limited didn't come with one, but I figured I could buy it after the fact and drop it in. My Expy has the notches and clips for it. It seems like it would be a simple swap. But everywhere I look, I cant seem to find the part.

I’d pay the dealer a visit. Most of the time stuff like that can be ordered and added later by the dealer. You can also check out ford accessories website

I use the two shelves a lot.

Do you have a SWB or a Max? I ask because the system is mostly useless in a Max...it doesn’t reach to the back of the third row so everything just rolls off. Looks like it’d be fabulous in the short one, but it’s a bust in my Max.
Definitely not that useful as a shelf in the MAX but we flip it up and use it as a fence at the rear when getting groceries so my wife doesn’t have stuff roll out on her as she opens the tailgate when parked at an incline in our driveway.

I think they mean b/c the shelf doesn’t go all the way back to the third row. I haven’t tried to use mine in forever so I forget.
Correct, if you use it as a shelf, the first time you hit the brakes, everything slides forward and off the shelf. Far from worthless but not as versitile in its use on the MAX as it is in the SWB with the rear seats up.

My 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4 has the self-unloading grocery bag feature.
What was Ford thinking when they failed to design a rear cargo net and/or fastening points in the last generation model?
Sometimes I wonder if Ford actuallly has employees test vehicles before they complete the design and feature content. One trip to the grocery store with the sloping rear floor, which causes cargo to slide back against the inside of the rear hatch, and a college intern would know a cargo management system or net is needed.

I had not looked at this "feature" before we took delivery of our Max and once at home, I had one of those "what were they thinking" moments. Looking here and in the manual, I finally figured out how the rear floor compartment lid forms a useless raised horizontal shelf on the Max, but it does also position vertically just ahead of the liftgate and is secured in that position with the latches to provide the fence that rcompart mentioned and is just the thing to keep stuff from fallout out when you open the liftgate.
We carry a lot of camping related gear in the back and so I also have the front floor compartment lid in the vertical position to form a box that keeps the stuff from shifting around.

The shelf is what's labeled here as 45626B...isnt it? Granted: I know nothing about shopping for parts, so maybe that is not helpful.

Yes, that looks like it. Flat on the floor, it is a lid for the small compartments underneath, lifted up on its arms in a horizontal position it forms a small shelf, adequate for the shorter version of the Expy with the 3rd row seats upright. It can also be pivoted on its arms to form a barrier across the rear of the cargo area. On the longer models, there is a second lid over more storage cubbies, but it doesn't come to up be a shelf, only another barrier behind the 3rd row seats.

I’m looking for the same part. I figure I could use the shelf to hide things beneath, out of sight from parking lot pirates. I see people have posted diagrams of part numbers, but have you had any luck locating exactly what you need?
I’ve called the dealer and spoken to the parts dept about it. They don’t seem to fully understand what I’m looking for. From what they have found on their end, they have quoted between $600 and $900, which I hope is wrong.

Is your back glass tinted? If so, I found a fabric shower curtain in black at Walmart. Laid over the stuff in the back and it's very difficult to tell if anything at all is back looking from the outside even on the brightest days.

Looks like there are two lids in that part diagram 45626a and 45626b . If you have a max do you put one of these up to be the shelf? Which one? Almost looks like part # a is the rear most lid and b is the lid closest to third row.
Any insite? Thinking of ordering a extra lid to do the cargo shelf and still have floor covering. May be able to get at a junk yard too .
