Default What are these?

For the life of me cannot figure out what these things are called. The rubber mats that push pin around the headlights. I need new ones, where can I get them?

not the pins themselves, but the actual mats. Mine have ripped and the pins no longer keep them in place

Oh, sorry, just buy some cork gasket maker and make your own. You can paint it black.

they are air deflectors, they guide the air into the condenser and radiator. You can get them from ford. ask the parts department there, might be a part number stamped into them.
