    Door edge guards?

    Does Ford still make them for our cars? The OEM ones I got from Ray the Dealer here held up great for 12+ years but finally started to have some coating loss and rust. I can’t find them in black.

    I replaced them with some u-channel stuff I got on Amazon, that looked fine for about 3 months then started slipping, and worse letting dirt under the rubber, which is hell on the paint. They were missing the internal metal that the Ford ones had.

    (The only down side to having them in the first place was that they lightly score the paint, so I need them replaced anyway.) Thanks.

    P.S. I might have just gotten cheap Chinese ones. Please let me know if you’ve found a decent aftermarket brand somewhere else.

    I️ bought some cheap ones from Autozone about thirteen years ago and no slippage or discolor.

    Did you clean any wax off or use alcohol wipes before hand?

    The coated metal u-channel ones Ford made stayed on like crazy and lasted a long time. At the time I figured they might mark the paint edge, but as long as they were replaceable I didn’t think it was an issue.

    Happened to score a new OEM set last week for $30. (*Bay item #201995948981) Arrived in original factory packaging and even included the rectangular installation tool - need to figure out how to use it, though! *https://www.mercurymarauder.net/foru...***.php?t=3648

    Also on *Bay, just bought a brand new OEM trunk organizer (3W1Z-54115A00-AA) yesterday from Germany for $215 including shipping. Granted, it's not the 'multi-fold top' model I would have preferred but there are NONE available in any configuration in the U.S. as far as I could find and I have spent multiple hours searching, ordering, and calling. And, every one that ever posted on this and any other related site were snapped up within minutes. (Was definitely not interested in the police versions.)

    Get creative and cross-reference your part number searches - it's tedious but well worth the time. I have gleaned so many part numbers from studying and recording the members' vehicle specs.

    They're ALL still out there - I was just lucky this time!

    My ultimate find will be the Pro-Gard U200FR rear skid plate. Any leads/suggestions/alternatives would be much appreciated!

    3W1Z-54115A00-AA is for a TownCar. It is smaller than the correct one for a Marauder, CV, GM.

    Can’t believe you found those, good for you! I’d pay that in a second. The new ones without a metal insert are junk.

    No idea what a “rectangular installation tool” is, my original ones didn’t come with anything, and I just pressed them on.

    I do have the Pro Gard installed which is a nice add on.

    NXSBOB - thanks very much for the heads-up and taking the time to respond! Hoping I can get the guy to let me cancel with a $50 "time-and-trouble fee".

    Yes, in 2004 Ray the dealer here had them for cheap. Wish I had known or used my brain that they had a service life and weren’t permanent, I would have bought 3 sets.
