no... it's one full piece.. almost like in an " L "shape...

I've replaced that rocker and it's not available (aftermarket anyway) as the whole piece you want. You can buy the driver door rocker or the full rocker but I'd expect that the segment that runs up behind the wheel is part of the fender. Take a look at this site.http://ecat.crosscanadaparts.com/base/welcome.php?year=2000&make=FORD&model=WINDSTAR

thanks for the replys guys... when i looked at the part it looks like it runs up by the fender but has 3 small screws to remove it.. from the wheel well area.. and it then runs under the door.. and stops at the pilar between the slide door and the front door.. i probibly could get one from a junk yard too.. but just not sure what to call it.. ilike i was saying i thought a rocker panel trim or something to that nature but search results on the web are not what im looking for... crazy right..

I'm sorry, I misunderstood exactly what you were looking for. I'd assumed that you needed the whole metal part, not simply the trim. That trim is gonna be a Ford part I'd bet for sure. It was probably part of an add of package with the model. I'd just go to them. I'm sure you'll be able to get it and you'd likely want OEM so that it'll match. Likely won't be cheap but the only other alternative is to search the bone yard and cross your fingers. Is the metal rocker beneath ok?

I know exactly which part you are referring to but have no idea what its called by Ford. Replaced mine on both sides with parts purchased from a junkyard in mint condition for $2 each. I guess you could order one from Ford but it won't be cheap.
