Covering the Pinch Weld Area below the doors

WildTrax

Just took delivery of a 2021 Rapid Red Widtrak 4D. Really didn't like the look of the body pinch weld below the doors. Found on Amazon a body side molding 1" x 1/4" thick matte black in color that can be affixed with the supplied 3M adhesive. Will post pictures once applied.

This is what I and many others have used and it works great.

Look forward to seeing how this works. Would be nice for there to be another good option for everyone.

I ordered these from ford for mine when it gets here. I will be curious to see how they look. I have a rapid red wildtrak that is suppose to be delivered this week sometime. Fingers crossed.

I used the tape because it was easy to punch through and still use the holes in pinch welds for my boards, but I guess you could drill through these. I'll be curious what you think. Levittown Ford has them for $213.93 2 Dr $222 4 Dr, btw.

I ordered my bronco with side steps so the dealership will get to figure that out.

Here are before and after images. This really worked out fantastic. The 1" x 1/4" matte black urethane molding with 3M adhesive tape worked like a charm....completely covers the ugly pinch weld. Easy to apply straight, just line up on the bottom of the pinch weld. Looks factory for $30 on amazon. If you want to duplicate buy: Dawn Enterprises automotive trim. ES12618-PK. All the best.

How many rolls of this did you have to order? I have the 2 door.

Nevermind.... I read the description as 18" not 18'. ordered. Will install tomorrow when it comes in!

I ordered them also, be here tomorrow. I'm gonna find some nice steam punk black nuts, bolts and washers and drill the holes thru pinch weld and mount like a piece steel. Probably hold on better during a rough ride down a gravel road.

Nice work and thanks for sharing. I really like the Bronco in Red - that color really suits the vehicle.

Big design fail for many of these step & rail products that they don’t cover this unsightly area. I have the factory rails on my BL but want to add a real slider but don’t want to sacrifice ground clearance and definitely don’t want to see “that”!

Bronco on!

Just installed these powder coated brackets from JCR Offroad to cover the ugly pinch weld area under the doors.

Simple, easy installation ... and they look good.
Real happy with these. :D(y)

Looks great. Mine is a OBX and the pinch weld has two bolts on each side towards the front. Did yours have those, if so how did deal with those?
