Product Description
Ford Flex 2009-2019 Side Molding Accent Trim, 16 Pieces of Polished Stainless (AT49340)
The Ford Flex is a box on wheels in the best sense, with long, flat, grooved body sides that run almost the full length of the vehicle. QAA's AT49340 is a sixteen-piece body side molding accent for the 4-door Flex SUV across its 2009-2019 run. Each piece is polished stainless steel, 0.5" wide, and together they lay a half-inch line of brightwork along the sides of the truck.
Sixteen pieces on a long body
The Flex has four doors and a long rear quarter, and the accent is split into sixteen segments to follow it. QAA does not list where each piece goes, so use the product photos to see the layout. They are the best reference for both ordering and installing. At half an inch, the strip shows clearly on the Flex's big flanks while staying tasteful. If you are unsure how it will look, compare it with the photos of the insert kit and lower rocker kit listed below.
Eleven years of the same SUV
QAA lists the kit for the 4-door Flex in every model year from 2009 through 2019: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. That covers the whole span the catalog shows for this vehicle, so whether your Flex is an early one or one of the last built, it is in the listing.
Material
Each piece is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror shine. It is solid stainless, so the brightness is the metal itself, not a coating that can wear. Grade 304 is a common choice for exterior trim, and 26 gauge is the thickness of the sheet.
Installation
Every segment comes with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape pre-applied, and the kit installs directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and no factory trim is removed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface. Sixteen pieces take some patience. Lay the pieces out in order on a clean towel, use the photos to match them to their spots, and dry-fit everything before peeling a single liner. The Installation tab has a full checklist.
Other Flex trim from QAA
The catalog for the same Flex includes several pieces that pair with this accent:
- MI49340, a six-piece body molding insert kit with a tapered width of 1.156" to 1.5".
- TH49340, an eight-piece lower rocker kit spanning from the bottom of the door up to 1.75".
- Pillar post kits in four, six, and eight pieces.
- A gas door cover, a rear deck accent, and two wheel well accent options.
The side accent and the lower rocker kit together give the Flex two parallel bright lines. Each part is linked in the Fitment tab.

Installation tips: Body Side Molding Accent Trim
- Unpack all 16 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle before removing any tape liner.
- Clean and dry the mounting surface so the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds to paint or trim, not dirt or wax.
- Peel the liner, align the piece, and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface.
- 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.
