Product Description
MI49317 Stainless Molding Inserts, 12 Pieces: 2009-2014 F-150 Crew Cab, 5.5' Bed, With Flares
If your F-150 is a 2009 to 2014 Crew Cab with the 5.5' bed and flares around the wheel openings, MI49317 is the insert kit tagged for it. You get twelve polished stainless strips, each 1.5 inches wide, which go on with 3M tape over the body side moldings the truck already has.
Nothing else with details on this sheet carries the same set of tags. The Crew Cab item that comes closest is AT49306, a 12-piece accent trim at 0.375 tagged for the Crew Cab with flares; its bed is written in feet-and-inches form, and it's a much narrower accent strip rather than an insert kit. AT49316 is the no-flares Crew Cab accent trim. Neither is part of this kit, and the catalog doesn't say how they relate to it.
Measure twice
Two measurements help before ordering. First, the bed: run a tape along the floor from the front wall to the closed tailgate, or check the build paperwork, and confirm it's the 5.5' bed. Second, the moldings: put a ruler across the flat face of one and compare it with the 1.5 inch strip width and the photos. If either measurement raises doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote MI49317.
Build of the strips
Material is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. Mounting is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the strips install directly over the existing surface, so no drilling is needed. Placement of the twelve strips isn't given on the sheet; the photos show it.
Flares and placement
With flares on the truck, pay attention to any strip end that falls near a flare edge. Hold each strip in place with its liner on and compare it with the photos before you commit. Keep ends from riding up onto the flare unless the pictures show that.
Install sequence
Repair any damaged moldings and remove old adhesive or wax. Wash, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol, and let it flash off. Number the liners by position. Dry-fit, mark ends with painter's tape, peel, place, and press firmly from end to end. Fit a few strips and sight down them, then do the rest. A dry, mild day works best, and the Installation tab lists the temperature range.

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.
