Am fully aware, and have 1st knowledge, of that. HOWEVER ...

parts.ford.com is the official FoMoCo parts web site -AND-

just checked tascafordparts.com and got the same results (parts listed, and shown).

That and as mentioned ... "can substantiate that at least the LH front fender trim was available as of Sep'2017 - had need to buy one.".

So if you're into OEM, NOS wouldn't hurt to check-with your local, friendly FoMoCo dealership parts counter for availability either thru existing stock or the FoMoCo parts network.

Shoot Fire ... -ALL- (including 5W7Z-5425557-APTM) are even currently on ebaY® ... so much for being -obsolete-

I think I have a full set minus the drivers fender one, was damaged

The same moldings are found on OTHER than marauders too, might find some at the yard

[Marauderjack]

Get a piece of aluminum flashing and slide it down behind the molding to protect the door while you wet sand the bad places......then mask, prime and paint....EASY PEASY!!:beer:

Have you even tried to remove those moldings yet......it's a NIGHTMARE!!:(

[03MERCMARAUDER]

Waiting to hear back from the body shop to see if they would be able to repaint them on the car. Last place I talked to when I first got the car would touch it with them still attached

x2, I damaged mine trying to 'fix' them up and said to hell with it and removed them all together. I much prefer the cleaner look of them being gone.

Been there, done that.

I think it looks better without the moldings. Well except for the round black decal covering a factory hole in the door...and what is that hole for?

[decipha]

x2, what the hell is the purpose in that? mine has what looks like a round sticker covering it from the factory.

[RF Overlord]

Probably an accommodation for the apparatus used to install the door at the factory.

[Gerry24]

Those moldings have saved my doors numerous times from morons opening their door. I can see the marks in the molding when they take a hit.

[the fat bastid]

I can't decide what style I like better, the nice clean look of no trim or tying the bumper lines together with the trim.
