She is flying apart!

Hey guys,

I have a 2014 SHO non PP that i need some help with. The moulding on the exterior door that they keyless entry pad is in on the drivers side blew off and broke. it was apparently double sided taped on from the factory and it didnt hold. I am not sure how to source that piece all i can find is aftermarket chrome covers which i am not interested in. After i find the piece to replace it what should i use to secure the new one in its location? Has anyone else had this problem? the dealership i went to had a month wait just to order the part.. The passenger side also looks like its getting ready to give way and i would like to get it before it does. 38K miles and ford was like its not under warranty have a nice day.

any insight that can offered is greatly appreciated.

Funny, was driving work and saw another Taurus on the road with the same thing. Cover was just gone.

Mine wasnt gone, luckily the keyless entry wire held it in place, and only the plastic broke. But the window took some pretty hard slaps enough to break the plastic. I wont be so lucky when the passenger one blows off so i am hoping to get it fixed up prior to that happening

Oh, and call customer service, if you haven't already - see if they'll warranty it - you never know.

Use 3M VHB (very high bond) tape. You will need a pry bar to get it off.

make sure you follow the directions to get the parts completely clean before you install it, because that is usually the problem - the parts were not clean.
