Ford Flex window and door trim detachment issue requiring multiple panel replacements on Ford Flex

Problem overview

Some Ford Flex owners report experiencing issues with window and door trim detachment, including the side panel between the driver's and passenger's doors and the upper molding on the driver side B-pillar. These problems often stem from a lack of adhesion, leading to loose trim pieces that may require replacement. Additionally, some owners notice detachment and bowing of trim panels on the B-pillar and weatherstripping near the windshield. To resolve these issues, it may be necessary to replace affected panels and use appropriate adhesives for secure reattachment. Owners are advised to ensure all electrical connectors and clips are properly aligned during reassembly. If detachment issues persist or multiple panel replacements are needed, seeking professional assistance from a certified auto service provider or Ford dealer is recommended to ensure proper diagnosis and repair. Regular maintenance checks can help prevent further damage and maintain the integrity of the Ford Flex's interior components.
