Right rear moulding replacement

[palauborne]

Has anyone ever replaced the shiny black moulding on the right rear of a 2005 Ford Expedition XLT? It is Ford part# FO2L1Z-78291A08-AA. I believe I have to remove the right rear cabin window but wanted to be sure. Thanks.

Not sure, but why are you replacing it so soon?

It was dented when I purchased it used and did not notice it until I got home. But, no worries...I did have to remove the side window, what a fiasco, and drill out the seven rivets holding in the moulding. I could not believe the price the Ford dealership wanted for the replacement rivets--about $2.50 each. I found them at a place called The Clip House here in Colorado Springs for about .27.
