Windshield Cowl Grille Top Compatible with Ford Explorer 2011-2019 Replace BB5Z78022A68AA

fit like new

This grill fit nicely on my husband’s 2018 Ford Explorer. It was put on his car just a few weeks ago so we’re assuming it’s of good quality and will last a long time.

Replaced the cowl on a 2019 Explorer that would rattle at 55+ mph. After watching a quick youtube video, spent about 20-30 minutes installing the cowl with little to no issues other than slight adjustments I needed to make on where the clips snapped in.I was a little concerned after installation that the cowl didn't sit flush against the window and was worried it would still rattle, but took it for a drive on the highway after installation at 75 mph and had no issues with the rattle anymore.

It fit perfect and only took 30 minutes to remove the old one and install the new one.

Fortunately I received a good one. Not perfect but 4* good. What I sacrificed in OEM quality (currently $300+) is likely made up in longevity of materials. I replaced this part on my 2016 Explorer Sport (90k miles) which was crumbling around the edges and fading pretty badly. It's super easy to install and the quality appears good enough that I don't except to need to replace it again.The one minor imperfection was at the drivers side wiper stud hole. It was not shaped perfectly and the drain holes were smooshed up. It looks like it melted or was taken out of the casting mold too soon before it cooled down enough. See pictures. Other than that all the tabs & holes lined up perfectly. Overall fitment is good but not OEM great. However the price is great vs OEM so I expected some trade-off in quality. It's installed and I'm satisfied with it.
