Question Unknown Part - Flaps in Engine Bay

I am hoping someone can tell me what the name of the part is indicated in the attached picture. They are 2 rubber flaps inside the engine bay, just inward of the headlights.

One of mine is torn somehow and I'd like to replace it if possible.

Thanks in advance.

I believe they are called a deflector A, and deflector B

If my parts # are right, the are parts #'s"

9L3Z 8310 and
9L3Z 8311

$31.77 each. They just replaced both of them on my wifes 2010 Lariat, and as best I can read the parts list this is what they are/cost.

Thumbs up

[MENTION=131002]Sherlock[/MENTION] - I think the part numbers are correct for the most part. Not sure about the prefix before the 8310 as that might be specific to your Lariat (vs. my XLT). Not sure though. See the attached screenshot from the FordParts.com site. My VIN was entered into the site to help me search for the right part. You'll notice both left and right are listed as '8310'.

Thanks again for all your help. You definitely pointed me in the right direction!

I know this s an old thread, but I recently replaced both sides of these air deflectors and another similar one between the front bumper and the drivers side fender with rubber from a large truck inner tube. I removed all of the plastic push pins, pieced all of the torn fragments together and made a paper pattern. I then transferred this pattern to an old (but in good shape) large truck inner tube, and cut them out with scissors. I used a cheap hole punch that was made for leather to put in the mounting holes. This cost me nothing but time, and I am sure that this rubber will last at least as long as the recycled/composite stuff that came with the truck.

Thanks for all the info on this post. I had to have some front end work done on my 2013 EB F150 and I just realized that they removed the air deflectors and never put them back in. My truck has been running fine here in Colorado since they have been removed, so I'm wondering if any technicians/mechanics out there can give me advice onto whether or not these are really needed or not.
