Default Wiper Cowl

Anyone have a part number for the rubber trim on both sides of the wiper cowl? Mine are rotten and I want to paint the cowl and replace these two pieces of trim.
Aloha!

I ended up painting mine yesterday, but I broke one of the christmas tree clips. Does anyone know if Ford parts has just the clips? I hate trying to find clips that match, because they almost never do.

Edit: I found and ordered 25 of the correct clips. I only need 1. I'm sure I could hook some brothers up if y'all need some.

Shame on Ford for this.
I have the same issue of the two rubber trim sides being rotted.
I am/was shocked to hear that Ford does not offer those two as separate parts. They clearly are made as separate parts and they simply clip into the cowl.
Would it be fair for the manufacturer to say you must buy the entire grill if you just need to replace the logo plate in the middle of the grill? That's a bullsh^# process and they're taking advantage of the customer.

So how do you really feel about this? Make your own. Last week this came up, and I posted the old link to a thread where a person on this forum made there own. He described how he did it, including pictures. Search and you'll find it.
