IAMAUTO 02084 OEM Quality Center Flexible Flex Step Tailgate Cap Pad Molding Trim with Release Button for 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Ford F150

My OEM step trim kept coming loose. It was a poor design, where the little plastic clips were poorly made, and are easy to break off. This new trim piece was easy to install since my factory trim departed the truck a few weeks ago! There are no instructions, but it is easy to figure out. I’ll detail how with a few pics in case this is helpful to people. 1. Place step release cap in the slots in the long trim piece. Ensure is slides easily, since this will release the tailgate step 2. Remove the old trim attachment pins from the bottom of the step if needed 3. Orient the new trim piece with the 2 holes facing the ground. Ensure they line up with the trim attachment points to the step. See pic of the bottom side of the step circled in red 4. Snap the step into place. You may have hit the trim at the plastic attachment points to snap in That is all there is too it. The rivets and the no step pieces are for the no step points on the side of the step. Mine were still on, so these pieces were not needed. The pics of the top side of step circled I red show were they go if you need them. No tools are needed unless you have to install the no step pieces. In that case, you would need a rivet gun. I did need to trim the bottom left side of the trim piece with a Drexel. It was 1 mm too thick. After that, it fits perfect. The install took about 2 minutes because there were no instructions. I could do it now in about 30 seconds. Overall I am impressed with the trim piece. It cost less than 1/3 of what the dealer wanted, and it seems to be of better quality. Hopefully it will last.

Thank you for all the earlier reviews and installation suggestions. The original tailgate cap that came with my 2018 F150 broke so chances are it will likely break again. I figure that I will likely need to replace it again, and I didn't want to pay for OEM part that costs two to three times as much. This tailgate cap is very slightly thinner than the OEM, but it feels as durable. I would have preferred if it came with installation instructions. However, it was easy to install. I took lessons learned from other reviews. Here are my contributions to the installation process: 1) remove all broken components that are still stuck to your tailgate, 2) remove the two old black rivets (pull out your tailgate for easy access to the rivets), 3) as other reviews mentioned: "you MUST insert the little square button cover into the long strip before mounting it", 4) aligns all the tabs to the corresponding holes and snap them in to place (use the palm of your hand or a rubber mallet for a tight fit), 5) insert the two black rivets. Mine fits like a glove. Use will likely not need all the parts that come with this kit. Only time will tell how this stands up to the weather. I will update the durability experience in a year (sooner if it warps in the heat of the sun).

I just installed it on my 2017 Platinum F150 - I bought the truck in 2021, this has been loose since I bought the truck. I finally replaced it and HOPED it would fit and not be expensive. This fits great, looks just like the one I took off and snaps on VERY securely. You might need a rubber hammer if you dont have a big fist to attach it. Im actually thrilled it took a few extra slaps to get it to snap in fully. Which means it wont be falling out like it has been for years.

very happy. at least as good as the oem part. I had ordered a slightly cheaper one and it showed up with broken tabs, was warped and very flimsy. just junk. this one, the tabs are solid, button works, is flat and straight. Very good OEM replica.

Fits my 2017 F150 Limited perfectly. It lined up perfectly and snapped into place. Very durable and comparable to original tailgate cap. I just can't figure out how to put the plugs in to hold it into place so it doesn't come off. I'll you tube or go by Ford dealer. The Ford dealer wanted well over $100. I saved a lot of money by using Amazon.

This is the real deal! Fits perfectly, no broken clips, everything works as expected. Do not look at the other brands. I bought 3 from the brand that has the highest number of reviews on Amazon and each one had at least 2 broken clips. The third one had 2 partially broken clips that I was able to super glue but when I installed it I noticed the push button would get stuck and I had to push it back from the other side.

Perfect replacement, no hassle.

Great fit

Easy to install and fits great!

Perfect fit on my 2016 F150. Clipped right in and came with the correct 2 body clips. I did not install the “no step” pieces as mine are fine but you will need a rivet tool to install them if you choose. Rivets are included.

I purchased this to replace the busted piece on my 2017 F150. It was definitely cheaper than OEM. Based on what I see, it's a good quality product and it was easy to install...about 5-10 minutes. I've now been out camping for a couple of weeks, moving stuff back and forth, etc and it's holding up very well. Would definitely recommend.

Fit my 2017 F150 perfectly 30sec install

Thrilled it was a perfect fit for my 2016 F150. I didn't use the 2 no step parts but the push button and the top cover fit without any trimming.
