How did you install the side moldings it came with a can of adhesive it’s not clear on the instruction where to put apply it.

Is that a sentence?

I installed mine incorrectly also. Every picture I could find, other than the Ford accessories site, showed them installed the same as the OP. Live & learn, I'm ok with mine as is.

I searched too and all of them were showing the way this one is except for the Ford site so I decided to install them like the Ford site looks much better but they are mounted on the rubber so not as strong.

so it only sticks to the thin rubber then right?

Yes if you mount them even also they do theme cheaper made then the vent visor brand not quite as good of a fitment around the doors and feel a little flimsy. I did put mine on in about 40 degree weather and about two hours later did go on the interstate I lost the front passenger side one but the rest have been on for about a week and a half now and I have been through several car washes and they are still there. I use my Ford points to get them if I had to pay for them probably would have been upset. But I am very pleased with the look of them.

What is the purpose of those moldings on the lower part of the door, shouldn't they be at the midpoint to deflect door dings shopping carts and etc?

That is a good question as molding is usually at the highest point so that if someone opens a door it catches the molding and not the paint. These are wide and while I am happy for anyone that got them because they like them. I am not a big fan.

The wheel well flares are backordered? And where’s the hood “scoop.”

Wait… what?!
Looks like it does. I’ve never seen that before

I like the look of some of these pieces, but curious as to how the adhesive tape holds up to car washes. Is tape the standard install method these days? Sturdy?

I had the same hood and window deflectors on mine. They hold up great, but I took mine off and replaced them with one from egr. I was never crazy about the ones on the window. And the hood protector was fine but didn’t work as a bug deflector. I like the ones we have on it now.

I installed my rain deflectors like the instructions pictured. (In line with the mirror) But they sell deflectors that push into the window frame that I would have bought if I knew they were available at the time I got mine. Also they have a hood deflector that mounts with screws on the underside of the hood lip (Open the hood to access) but it's not flush, and the ends curve upwards. These are better bug deflectors, but I think a car wash would damage them, or anything else that came in contact with them. Just my thoughts.
