It was a poor design, where the little plastic clips were poorly made, and are easy to break off. This new trim piece was easy to install since my factory trim departed the truck a few weeks ago! There are no instructions, but it is easy to figure out. I’ll detail how with a few pics in case this is helpful to people. 1. Place step release cap in the slots in the long trim piece. Ensure is slides easily, since this will release the tailgate step 2. Remove the old trim attachment pins from the bottom of the step if needed 3. Orient the new trim piece with the 2 holes facing the ground. Ensure they line up with the trim attachment points to the step. See pic of the bottom side of the step circled in red 4. Snap the step into place. You may have hit the trim at the plastic attachment points to snap in That is all there is too it. The rivets and the no step pieces are for the no step points on the side of the step. Mine were still on, so these pieces were not needed. The pics of the top side of step circled I red show were they go if you need them. No tools are needed unless you have to install the no step pieces. In that case, you would need a rivet gun. I did need to trim the bottom left side of the trim piece with a Drexel. It was 1 mm too thick. After that, it fits perfect. The install took about 2 minutes because there were no instructions. I could do it now in about 30 seconds. Overall I am impressed with the trim piece. It cost less than 1/3 of what the dealer wanted, and it seems to be of better quality. Hopefully it will last. Review: Affordable, fits like a glove, and easy to install - Thank you for all the earlier reviews and installation suggestions. The original tailgate cap that came with my 2018 F150 broke so chances are it will likely break again. I figure that I will likely need to replace it again, and I didn't want to pay for OEM part that costs two to three times as much. This tailgate cap is very slightly thinner than the OEM, but it feels as durable. I would have preferred if it came with installation instructions. However, it was easy to install. I took lessons learned from other reviews. Here are my contributions to the installation process: 1) remove all broken components that are still stuck to your tailgate, 2) remove the two old black rivets (pull out your tailgate for easy access to the rivets), 3) as other reviews mentioned: "you MUST insert the little square button cover into the long strip before mounting it", 4) aligns all the tabs to the corresponding holes and snap them in to place (use the palm of your hand or a rubber mallet for a tight fit), 5) insert the two black rivets. Mine fits like a glove. Use will likely not need all the parts that come with this kit. Only time will tell how this stands up to the weather. I will update the durability experience in a year (sooner if it warps in the heat of the sun). ## Features - Replacement Center Cap Pad With Button Trim, Guards, Rivets, and Retainers. - Replaces Part # FL3Z-9940602-B - Fits: 2015-2020 Ford F-150 (WILL NOT FIT SUPER DUTY) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07WVFL8KN | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #267,866 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #405 in Truck Beds & Tailgates | | Brand | I AM Auto Parts | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (571) | | Date First Available | August 23, 2019 | | Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Item Weight | 1.72 pounds | | Manufacturer | I AM Auto Parts | | Manufacturer Part Number | 223542102084 | | OEM Part Number | FL3Z-9940602-B | | Package Dimensions | 37.8 x 5.63 x 2.95 inches | | Surface Recommendation | Door | ## Product Details - **Brand:** I AM Auto Parts - **Color:** Black - **Exterior Finish:** Painted Black - **Fit Type:** Vehicle Specific Fit - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) ## Images ![IAMAUTO 02084 OEM Quality Center Flexible Flex Step Tailgate Cap Pad Molding Trim with Release Button for 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Ford F150 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m6sQP4vaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install on 2016 F150 Lariat *by L***7 on October 15, 2020* My OEM step trim kept coming loose.

I finally replaced it and HOPED it would fit and not be expensive. This fits great, looks just like the one I took off and snaps on VERY securely. You might need a rubber hammer if you dont have a big fist to attach it. Im actually thrilled it took a few extra slaps to get it to snap in fully. Which means it wont be falling out like it has been for years. ## Frequently Bought Together - IAMAUTO 02084 OEM Quality Center Flexible Flex Step Tailgate Cap Pad Molding Trim with Release Button for 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Ford F150 - Clip Pliers Trim Upholstery Tools - 3 Pack Car Removal Tool Set to Remove Rivets Fasteners Push Pins, Clips Puller Kit for Door Dash Dashboard Panel Body Repair Tools - GOOACC - GRC-33 240PCS Bumper Retainer Clips Car Plastic Rivets Fasteners Push Retainer Kit Most Popular Sizes Auto Push Pin Rivets Set -Door Trim Panel Fender Clips for GM Ford Toyota Honda Chrysler --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/158390479-iamauto-02084-oem-quality-center-flexible-flex-step-tailgate-cap](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/158390479-iamauto-02084-oem-quality-center-flexible-flex-step-tailgate-cap) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
