Windshield Cowl Grille Top Panel Compatible with Ford Explorer Base 3.5 3.7 2.0L 2011-2019 Replace BB5Z-78022A68-AA BB5Z78022A68AA (For Ford Explorer 2011-2019)

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

Took 5 min to install. No issues.

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.

For the price this was excellent. All the points where it needed to lined up and installation was really easy (a woman here and I didn't break a nail!). I even replaced a windshield wiper arm at the same time. I will note, while it fits, I believe it could be about an half to full inch longer on both ends. It didn't tuck under the other sections where it should on both ends. I think it will be fine, but I do feel for me to feel 100% that this was perfect, would to have it be longer on each end. But, would totally buy again to save money.

My review is against the product not the seller. The product is junk. Shipping was faster than they estimated which was good but the clips on the rear of this product that are supposed to hold the cowl in place are junk. 3 of them broke off upon trying to fit this to my Explorer. In comparing the OEM part I removed from The vehicle which still had all of the clips, it was clear I bought some Chinese knock off. Post install the seal is not snug against my wind shield. It may not cause any issues but is an eye sore and I’m out $200+ on a part that is sub par and has broken clips due to lack of dexterity in the plastic. Buy it from ford, it’s more money but likely a better product.

Arrived in great shape. Fit my 2017 Explorer perfectly. My husband installed it with no issues. Looks so much better!

Perfect !

Works as it should

fit like new
