A material breakdown

[Harold C. McManus]

Do you have any recommendations for replacing the trim below the windshield? I requested a quote from the dealer and was told they do not perform that particular task. I was told to find a body shop and ask for a quote. This reminds me of when the interior of my 2007 Explorer started falling from the front windshield, and the dealer told me to find a body shop, but I digress.

The black trim emanating from under the hood up to the windshield is disintegrating and looks horrible. I hoped Safelight could replace it, but I have had no luck with them in the Raleigh-Durham area. Any constructive advice would be welcomed.

Next week, I will ask about the sunshade in the back window, which has totally dispelled the myth that “what goes up must come down”…it won’t. The dealer could not find a part number to replace the motor for the back screen.

If it is the windshield cowl, Tasca Parts has it: https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-cowl-grille-dg1z5402228b

I happened upon it this afternoon when I was looking for one for my 2010 SHO... Guess who has to pay nearly $250 and unknown wait for it... yup, me.

This will make it look better. Not perfect, but better. Follow the directions. Use it on any black plastic that has turned gray.

Thank you! I will contact them tomorrow! $250 is not bad.

This shizzit is the bomb... used it on a car I given and used it all over the trim... looked brand new. It rained the next two days, never made a difference.

Jumping ahead here, if you're handy, you likely do not need a whole new sunshade but rather just a new microswitch that you should be able to source from a place like Digi-Key.

I got tired of mine popping up and just removed it.

Did you have any luck with the lower windshield trim?

i just ordered one from Amazon. My weatherstripping is crumbling into nothing. It is $208 shipped. Tasca has them cheaper but their shipping is crazy expensive.
