cet2kill · March 18th, 2008, 09:04 PM

Ford calls it a cowl grille I don't have the part # on hand but I work for a nation wide auto recycler and you can check out this link to find the nearest one to you LKQ Corp. Recycled Auto Parts I don't think any of them would charge more than $30 or $40 for them + shipping or if one is close just stop by and pick it up.

00redgt · March 18th, 2008, 10:03 PM

check ebay,may have one there

energiesource · March 18th, 2008, 11:06 PM

how does it crack? mine hasnt

Genevieve! · March 19th, 2008, 01:30 AM

yeah , mine hasn't cracked either. does it crack in a certain location?

cet2kill · March 19th, 2008, 01:44 AM

I wouldn't think it would crack or break unless you tried to remove it or had to replace your windshield.

MustangMatt96GT · March 19th, 2008, 01:45 AM

mine has a few holes missiing, but its so easy to remove and put back in! I have had it out probably 10 times.

suprajay79 · March 19th, 2008, 08:07 AM

Mine broke with me trying to put the hinge back on there.

WAR-PARTY · March 19th, 2008, 08:33 AM

I got a new one thru the dealer for 125. that is cost + 10%. They usually have them in stock because the window replacement morons, fequently bust them.
