Ford has decided to remove the header portion of the molding on the current F150 windshields and has given Carlex service direction to sell down our stock of parts with 3-sided moldings then changeover to the 2-sided (pillars only) moldings. According to Ford the parts with 2-sided and 3-sided moldings can be used interchangeably. The following windshields are affected:
DW01838 GTYCAR - SoundScreen® acoustic with rain sensor
DW01981 GTYCAR - regular vinyl w/ Ford oval logo in 3rd visor
DW01982 GTYCAR - SoundScreen® acoustic w/ Ford oval logo in 3rd visor
Carlex will be changing DW01838 and DW01981 over to the 2-sided moldings very shortly so you may receive stock with either style molding within the next couple of months. It will be a few months before DW01982 will be changed over completely to the 2-sided molding.
If you have any questions, please contact your local Carlite Regional Sales Manager or Customer Service Representative. Thank you for your continued support of the Carlite product line.
