Still 3k I'm guessing. Since that list has minimal pricing. Thanks!
@flip how does this bolt go in? The c shaped bracket that this attaches to isn’t threaded and I can’t see how to add a nut underneath.Pics, commentary and things learned.
The donor....my BL. First step, remove cargo liner mat if equipped. Next, remove the 8 tie down bolts and tie downs. Remove the rear trim strip along the rear opening to be notched for bracket clearance (remove but don't notch). Remove cargo floor trim then install the left and right rear brackets reusing two of the hold down bolts you just removed.
Here is the trim piece that was notched. Note, this was pointless and one thing that was learned. This piece will need to be replaced with the correct one for vehicles with sliders, notched for the latch or just left off. Reinstall trim so you can see the folly after the slider is installed.
Install the slider assembly. The front two bolts are W709055-S439 but if you want to save a few bucks you can reuse the tie down bolts that removed earlier, maybe put a 3/8 washer on for a little more clamping pressure. I already had the "correct" ones so I used those. Do not snug these all the way down yet.
Slider frame uses the most forward mounting holes, don't use the back two. After that, use the correct W709055-S439 on the rear two mounting brackets. Again, don't snug down all the way just yet. Got lazy taking pics but as you can see I removed the 4 tie downs from the slider using a T40.
I removed the tie downs so this would sit kind of flat-ish until I can come up with a PN for the correct mat. As you can see the fit isn't great and the access door flops and has to be lifted when pushing the table back in from the extended position. Oh well, this will get fixed soon enough.
Now the rear trim strip I mentioned earlier. There's enough room to get a normal finger or two in there in order to release the gate but you will need to remove said digits lest yea want them pinched. Y'all with huge hands, well, this may not work for you and be forced to go with plan "B" or plan "C". Plan "B" is chop a 6" section out of the middle of the trim enough to access the release. Plan "C" is just order the correct part when it comes out.
All the crap, including cargo area liner back in.
I ordered mine from Ford for 1300 and it was free with the Ford pass points I had.
Same. Gets in today. I hope I'm not in store for some sticker shock on other parts needed to install...
