Product Description
Ford Flex 2009-2019 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ49340, Cut to Fit with Rocker Kit, 6 Pieces
WQ49340 outlines the wheel openings of the 2009-2019 Ford Flex 4-door SUV with six polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim pieces. Its note reads "Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately", QAA lists the set as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging", and the record gives no width.
Cut set and Full Length set
The Flex has two wheel well listings: this cut set and WQ49341, noted "Full Length". Both have six pieces. If no rocker kit is planned, WQ49341 is the set listed without the cut.
The rocker kit
The note doesn't name a kit. The one rocker kit linked for the Flex is TH49340, eight pieces at 1.75", spanning from the bottom of the door up. Confirm with 877-752-3811 that it's the kit WQ49340 is cut for before you order.
Six pieces
The record doesn't say how the six are spread among the openings, so map them from the photos and label each liner.
Material
Each Flex arch piece starts as polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in a USA shop and is bonded to the SUV's existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states this tape will hold for a lifetime, harming nothing on the Ford.
Other Flex parts
AT49340 is a sixteen-piece body side molding accent at 0.5". MI49340 is a six-piece molding insert kit with a "1.156 - 1.5" tapered Width". Pillar sets PP49340 (4), PP49341 (6) and PP49342 (8), a gas door cover and a rear deck accent are listed too.
Job order
Rocker kit, then arches. With the rocker trim on the SUV, every cut end of the wheel well set can be offered up against it before any adhesive is exposed.
Preparation
Wash and dry each opening, drain the lip, and look over the band for residue, wax and chips, paying close attention where the cut ends will meet the rocker trim. Wax-and-grease remover across the band; isopropyl alcohol last.
Fitting against the rocker trim
Present each opening's pieces on their liners, held with painter's tape, and check three things against the photos: the gasket along the opening, any join between pieces, and each cut end beside the rocker trim. Bond the piece furthest from the rocker trim first and finish with the piece that meets it, so the cut end is the final thing set.
Care
When the Flex kit arrives, check for six pieces. After they are on, give the tape a day before a wash, then rely on mild soap and a soft cloth, never a pressure washer on the gasket. Call 877-752-3811.
Before ordering
Confirm the Flex is a 2009-2019 model, confirm the rocker kit with 877-752-3811, and order both together if TH49340 isn't already on the SUV. When the parcel arrives, count six pieces and check each cut end and gasket edge. Keep the liners on until each piece has been held against the fitted rocker trim, and don't trim the stainless yourself.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
