Center chrome windshield section

[lasuvidaboy]

Recently I noticed a two small blemishes (or bubbles) on the inside edge of my chromed center windshield trim. Is that piece still available and has anyone had it replaced? Thanks!

yes ford still has them. Mine has done the same and i'm looking to replace it later (when it gets worst) but i order the part now. Who knows if they will still carry it then.

Replaced the center and left sections last week. Dropped two nuts down the frame, but had spares on hand. All in all took about 1 1/2 to do. Thankfully the right(passenger) section is in good shape. I haven't been able to find that part anywhere

Here's what TeamFord in Las Vegas shows on their web site (as an example).

Keep an eye on eBay. I bought the center trim piece (3W6Z-7650046-AA) today on eBay for $93.34 with shipping. No more listed by the seller now.

Hey guys to prevent loosing your nuts when removing the trim form a tube from stiff paper with an inside diameter slightly larger than your socket. Make it long enough to extend out beyond the frame. When the nut falls out of the socket it falls in the tube and out onto the floor. These nuts are special and Ford charges a lot for them. I am waiting for the ceneter section to get a little worse before I install my replacement.

PS... reuse the tube when installing the nuts...just in case

I've been lucky never had to do this but reading about it if I do have to do it I'll do like we did when working .... put a little caulking in the socket to hold the nut.

If anyone needs extra nuts for the left and right trim pieces (two each side), I have plenty and I'll send them to you. I bought 50 for what Ford charges for four.
