PSA on secret-ish OEM trim piece to reduce roof noise (C pillar molding cover)

[MJ12]

I have a '23 and I made my own using pipe insulation (those black pool noodle looking kind) and a razor blade. It did help.

Cool. My 24WT does not have those. Looking it up why does the left one cost double of the right one. Jerks

Not sure, I bought mine on eBay.

I wonder if there’s one for the 2 door.

I'm not one that minds all that much how noisy the Bronco is, but I would likely add these if they make them for the 2-door. Following this thread in case anyone finds out!

all right, that turns out interesting, M2DB-* probably looks like an Engineering part number, not a Catalog number.

M2DZ-78255A34-CA right and M2DZ-78255A35-CA left seems is what we're looking for here

I don’t believe this is correct. I’m the OP and someone somehow inserted part numbers into my original post above that I do not believe are correct. From my research, M2DZ-78255A34-CA Is a different part. I’m no expert on Ford part numbers but just do a Google search of that part number and it looks like a different part. See the attached picture.

yup, but your screenshot is for -BA and that's for softtop, I guess the rubber-sealed -CA is for the hardtop based on the list Ducati shared

I’m sorry, I missed the BA/CA distinction. I wanted to advise about the issue, but clearly I am no parts Number guru. That said, I just did a quick Google search with the CA suffix part number and it doesn’t seem to be coming up.

Is it possible to get a better picture angle like a wider point of view to see exactly where I should be looking for this? Idk if you have a wider before pic as well. I have a 2025 painted hardtop. I am assuming it already has this but I’d like to double check

 

[Mjasi3]

I think if it has the ridges, you have the latest version

 

[freebob]

Isn't this piece standard on soft tops?

yes it is

 

[Eugeene]

yes it is

softtops are -BA, hardtops are -CA, that's the point

Last is a picture with the roof on, and you can see the rubber gasket in place. Good luck!

We could totally just get a big foam seal like this and add it for like $25 instead of $300 . So that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Will post my results! I couldn't ffind a rubber one big enough, but if this 1.25" foaam is too tall then I know there's an abundance of 1" rubber weather seals but they have these ribs along them that I fear would be counterintuitive.

That original picture looks exactly what's on my 2-Door, '24, MIC top. I assumed everyone had that piece. (bought new)

Can you remove it and check the back for the part number?

I will be home in the next hour or so... hang tight.

Mine were about $120 on eBay. Just saw this set for less.
