Product Description
2004-2008 Ford F-150 Crew Cab, 5.5' Bed, No Flares: 12-Piece Stainless Molding Insert Kit (MI44316)
MI44316 carries twelve strips, and it's tagged for a specific truck: the 2004 through 2008 Ford F-150 Crew Cab, 4-door, with a 5.5' bed and no flares. Each strip is polished 304 stainless steel, 1.5 inches wide, and goes on top of an existing body side molding with 3M tape.
Reading the sheet for a Crew Cab owner
Several parts on this sheet are tagged Crew Cab, and it helps to sort them out. MI44305 is a 12-piece Crew Cab molding insert kit too, but its tags are 6.5' bed and no flares, so the bed is the difference. DS44316 shares this kit's number and is a 4-piece door sill trim at 2.63 tagged for the Crew Cab. It's a different product for a different spot, and the catalog doesn't say the two were designed as a set, so look at its own page. The Super Cab kits MI44301 and MI44303 aren't for a Crew Cab.
Your checklist
- Ford F-150 Crew Cab
- Model year 2004 to 2008
- 5.5' bed (measure the bed floor or check build paperwork)
- No flares, per the "NO Flares" tag
- Moldings present, intact and similar to the photos
If anything doesn't line up, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give the SKU, MI44316.
About the strips
Twelve pieces, 1.5 inches wide, 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. They install directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so no drilling is needed. The record doesn't say where each of the twelve goes; the photos show the layout.
Install approach
Twelve similar strips are easy to mix up, so begin by matching them to the photos and writing a position on every liner. Next, repair any damaged moldings and remove old adhesive or wax. Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe each molding. Dry-fit one strip at a time with the liner on and mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, set on the marks, and press firmly from end to end. Complete one run of strips and sight along it from the front corner before starting the next. The Installation tab lists the temperature range for the tape; a dry, mild day works best.
One width across all twelve
Every strip is listed at 1.5 inches, so a single measurement across the flat face of one molding tells you whether the width suits your truck. Compare it with the figure and the photos, and call if it looks tight.
Everything else on the sheet
Twenty-nine parts are cross-listed. Shown with details: DS44302, a 4-piece door sill set for the Super Cab at 2.25-2.625; GC44308, a 1-piece gas door cover trim; MC44308, a 2-piece mirror cover set, both of those tagged for 2-door and 4-door pickups; plus DS44316 and the MI kits discussed above.

Clean the polished face with mild soap and a soft cloth and keep abrasives off it. Questions? 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 12 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.
