2002 Ford Escape part?

416Ford · December 30, 2018, 02:56:37 PM

Trying to install a new bumper cover after hitting a deer and I can not find a bumper cover locator pin.
Mad of plastic and mounts up in the top to hold the sides up on the fenders. Anyone know where to get them or what they are called? Otherwise I am off to the dealer on Wednesday. The one pictured is from the other side
Thanks

I found them here, best price https://www.group1autoparts.com/oem-parts/ford-bumper-cover-rivet-w707388s300 You can also find them on Ebay at a much higher price. The part number is W707388S300 and may be available from Ford too. It is still listed in Ford parts. https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/rivet-6303549-1

Thanks Frank, I did find one yesterday at the Lincoln dealer. $3.14 and well worth it.
Job is done.

the car factorys seem to have weird names for parts. My wife worked in auto insurance as a claims adjuster in the late 1970s and early 80s.. What we call a headlite trim piece was referred to as a door by the factory. There was no door, it was a trim piece.

It was an interesting time for her. Comments made to her on how she was the token female adjuster and she was not taken seriously .... would result in guys being fired in todays world. On the flip side : she was * good at the job since she was more educated with cars than many of the men she worked with.

You guys should have seen what we went through with the repair estimate on the Ugly Olds ....The adjuster was insistent on using a modern damage estimate format to assess the damage ....

Strange ....Modern cars don't have running boards,bolt on rear fenders,grille trim metal panels & MANY other parts .... :?

When we got to the chassis, he decided that leaving that area "open" on the estimate would be best ...

Working direct with the insurance company adjuster was the best idea for everybody ....

Bob...

For some reason that part has been called a headlight door since they integrated the headlight into the fender in the 30s. Now, tell me where the tulip panel is.

generally the cowl area... although I have seen rear deck sheet metal areas referred to as ''tulip panel'' , never made sense. Engineers at fault, I guess

Dang. :cry: I thought this was about how to escape Fords. :?

The tulip panel is the one that goes between the rear window and the trunk lid. It has two lips, one for the trunk, and one for the rear window two lip panel =tulip panel.

So where does the escutcheon fit?

I think my 2 lips will visit another thread.

I've heard of the panels between the firewall and windshield called tulip panels for the same reason. Seems like the panels between the firewall and door hinge mounts were called that. Just about all US cars had a similar firewall door mount area design for decades.

escutcheon is a weather strip area on a house door, next to the light switches?

It's the round metal part between the door handle/window crank and the door panel. Who came up with that word anyway?
