JDMSPEED New B Pillar Molding Trim with Door Entry Keypad Replacement for Ford Explorer 2011-2019 Replaces DB5Z-7820555-AC Door Pillar Applique Driver Front LH Side Left Outer

Quality replacement part. Had local mechanic install to replace damaged unit. Installation took about two hours to complete. Driver inner door panel has to be removed along with the exterior window trim.

I’ve read a few reviews about people removing the door panel to access the wiring harness for this repair. There is an easier way. When you take what’s left of your broken pillar piece out you’ll see there’s no slack in regards to the wiring. Which makes you think oh crap I gotta do the door panel. No. Just look at the factory keypad and unscrew the four screws. If your lucky yours came from the factory with Phillips head screws, mine needed a T6 star screw. Any T6 bit would work but luckily I had a small kobalt screwdriver with it already. After you unscrew them you’ll need a very very very small flathead to pry the keypad off the old trim. Work your way around evenly nice and steady until you can pry it off with your fingers. Now just repeat the process with your new pillar. Just be very gentle so you don’t damage the new pillar. You can either keep or trash new keypad since you don’t need it. Bolt the new pillar to the factory keypad. Now use some gorilla double sided tape because the double sided tape that comes with this pillar sucks and will fail. The gorilla tape sticks great and won’t fail you. Now your doneBtw, I would take a second to disconnect the battery before you do all this. Only so that you don’t blow a fuse. These keypads are delicate. If it gets pulled on and that wiring harness pulls the wrong way it’ll blow a fuse. This happed to me when my pillar first broke off while driving. No big deal right, just a fuse?? No this fuse isn’t under the hood, it’s in the fuse box that’s under the dash and you gotta be bent over backwards using a needle nose plier that is bent 90 degrees just to pull the fuse. Just save yourself the trouble and disconnect the battery.Also, if your windshield pillars are broken also, Safelite will replace them(with the brackets) for free. You just need a broken windshield also 😉… usually no cost with your insurance company.

First of all, it's a pain to install. Not product fault, just a heads up.The double sided tape is horrible. Only held for about 2 days. It fell off while my wife was driving down the highway. It snapped in half too. I prepped the surface to ensure adhesion, but the tape it crap. Payed almost $200 for this price of crap just to have it fail within 48 hours.

This b pillar panel doesn’t work if you want to just change the look of it because your original is crack this is fine but if you used for the original purpose this is garbage and I’ll drain your battery, will randomly turn on, flash on or stay on overnight, garbage.I contact the seller but they don’t wanted to replaced unless I sent the defected and I can’t I’ll leave my car with out it and be vulnerable to rain
