Product Description
Stainless Molding Insert Kit, 10 Pieces: 2004-2008 F-150 Super Cab With Flares and 8' Bed (MI44313)
On this sheet, MI44313 rounds out a set of three Super Cab kits for trucks with flares. MI44301 is tagged for the 5.5' bed, MI44303 for the 6.5' bed, and MI44313 for the 8' bed. All three are ten pieces of polished 304 stainless at 1.5 inches wide, for the 2004-2008 Ford F-150. If you have a Super Cab with flares, your bed length decides which one you need.
The row, and one inconsistency
The fitment row reads Ford F-150, 2004 to 2008, 2-door, pickup truck, Super Cab, 8' bed, "w/ Flares." The "2-door" tag on a Super Cab is at odds with DS44302 on this same sheet, which tags the Super Cab as 4-door. We've flagged it. Go by the cab name, bed and flares, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with MI44313 if the door count gives you pause.
Bed and flares
To check the bed, measure along the floor from the front wall to the closed tailgate, or look at the truck's build paperwork; you're looking for the 8' bed. For flares, this kit is tagged for a truck that has them. A truck without flares needs a different listing.
Material and mounting
Ten 1.5 inch strips of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. Want to talk through MI44313 first? The number to call is 877-752-3811. Strip positions aren't stated on the sheet; follow the photos.
Prep, fit, press
Prep: inspect each molding for cracks, lifting ends and old adhesive and deal with them. Wash, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol, letting it flash off.
Fit: sort the ten strips by the photos and label the liners. Dry-fit each with the liner on, keeping ends clear of the flares unless the photos show otherwise, and mark both ends with painter's tape.
Press: peel, set on the marks, and press firmly the full length. A few strips first, then sight along them, then the rest. The Installation tab gives the temperature range.
Weather and timing
Tape installs go best on a dry, mild day with the truck parked out of direct rain. Allow time to lay out all ten strips without rushing, and keep the truck away from its first wash for a while once the strips are on. A helper holding the far end of each strip during the dry fit makes it easier to judge the line.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 10 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.
