Product Description
Ford Flex 2009-2012 Stainless Front Vent Accent, 4 Pieces (FV49340)
FV49340 is a four-piece polished stainless front vent accent kit for the Ford Flex SUV, model years 2009 through 2012. Made in the USA from 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, each Flex piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Four pieces, layout in the photos
The catalog doesn't name the vents, give dimensions, or describe how the four pieces are arranged. So the product photos carry the detail. Before ordering, compare them with the front of your Flex. Once the kit arrives, set the pieces beside the photos and label each one with painter's tape so you know where it goes before you peel anything.
Fitment
Ford Flex, 2009-2012, 4-door SUV. One row. The Fitment tab shows it.
Rear trim for the same Flex
Two related listings on this sheet are for the back of the vehicle:
- DH49340, a two-piece tailgate handle accent trim ring. Its note describes a top section with a bend for contour, plus a second accent piece that sits flush on the bottom surface of the concave part of the handle structure.
- TP49340, a two-piece trunk hatch accent trim.
With vents up front and handle or hatch trim at the rear, you'd have polished detail at both ends.
Material
Type 304 stainless, 26 gauge, polished. A thin sheet with a bright face that's the steel itself.
No drilling
The accents install directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Getting the surface ready
Vents trap dust, bugs and wax in their recesses. Wash with soapy water and a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and degrease every mounting area. Wipe until the cloth stays clean. Swabs help in narrow slots. Let it dry before going further.
Step by step
- Match all four pieces to the photos and label them.
- Dry-fit the first with the liner on and look from the front of the SUV.
- Mark with painter's tape, peel, align, and press firmly over the whole piece.
- Press again after a minute.
- Work through the rest, comparing each with the ones already fitted.
The Installation tab has full prep.
Why the vents
Vents are a defining shape on the front end. Polished accents highlight them and leave the vents themselves unchanged.
Before ordering
Confirm a 2009-2012 Flex, compare the photos with your vents, and check the surface around them for chips.
A helper makes it easier
Vent accents are viewed head-on, so a second person standing in front of the SUV can tell you right away whether a piece looks level and centered. That saves stepping back and forth for each piece. If you're on your own, a phone propped up to take a photo from the front works too.
Conditions
Mild, dry weather, out of the sun; keep the SUV dry overnight.
Care
Mild soap and a soft brush.

Installation tips: Front Vent Trim
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
