Product Description
Ford F-150 Crew Cab 6.5' Bed (2015-2020) Stainless Molding Insert Trim, 12 Strips (MI55305)
For a 2015 to 2020 Ford F-150 Crew Cab with the 6.5' bed, MI55305 is the molding insert kit tagged for your truck. It has twelve strips of polished 304 stainless steel at 1.5 inches wide, which lay over the existing body side moldings with 3M tape.
The decision on this sheet mostly comes down to bed length. MI55316 is the matching 12-piece, 1.5 inch kit for the Crew Cab with the 5.5' bed. MI55302 is a 12-piece kit for the Super Cab, 6.5' bed, so it's the cab that differs there. If you have a Crew Cab, measure the bed floor from the front wall to the closed tailgate, or check your build paperwork, and choose between MI55305 and MI55316 on that basis. When in doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with your truck's details.
What's in the kit
Twelve strips, 1.5 inches wide. 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. Made in the USA. Mounting is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. Positions for the individual strips aren't listed; the photos show the layout.
Check the moldings before ordering
Every strip sits on a molding already on the truck. Walk around and look at each one: present, firmly attached, no cracks, no leftover adhesive. Measure the flat face of one with a ruler and compare it with 1.5 inches and the photos. A replaced or damaged molding that no longer matches the pictures is worth a call before you buy.
Fitting twelve strips
Lay them out on a towel, match them to the photos, and write a position on each liner. Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the moldings on the side you're starting with. Dry-fit each strip with its liner on, mark both ends with painter's tape, then peel and press firmly from end to end. After the side is done, stand at the front corner and look down it. Then fit the remaining strips the same way. A dry, mild day is best; the Installation tab gives the temperature range.
Other F-150 parts on the sheet
TH55302 is a 12-piece rocker panel upper kit at 4.5 for the Super Cab, noted as spanning from the bottom of the molding down to the specified width. GC55308 is a 1-piece gas door cover trim. MC55307 is a 2-piece mirror cover set, top half only, for non-painted mirrors. RT55309 is a 1-piece tailgate accent trim at 4 with no cut out, and TGI55308 is a 1-piece tailgate insert trim at 0.5; those four are tagged for 2-door and 4-door pickups. Fifteen more parts are cross-listed by number only; each has its own page.
Helpful extras
A helper holding the far end of each strip during the dry fit makes centering easier, and a tape measure for checking strip height at both ends keeps every strip level.
Care
On the F-150 crew cab, mild soap, water and a soft cloth keep the twelve inserts clean; keep steel wool and abrasive pads off. Phone 877-752-3811 with MI55305 for questions.

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.
