I have a couple of spots in mine where the rubber cracked. I just removed mine to clean them and apply Cerakote trim restore as they were gray and ashy looking. LOL

Had to have the windshield replaced on my '15 F150 Super Crew. The good folks at Safelight installed the new cowl since the old one had to be removed to replace the windshield.

All models and years of the Gen-13 use the same cowl grilles, FL3Z-15022A68-C for LH and FL3Z-15022A68-D for RH.

Applying

occasionally to the rubber strip will keep it from failing.
