07 150 4x4 supercrew. the damn wiper cowl keeps poping up in the center, then it seems I get ice under the edge and against the window, and she sits and growels at me at hwy speeds. like someone is rolling a golfball around and around and around...etc. any solutions or better aftermarket parts??????

tired of small issues and cheap parts

 

had dealer fix mine per tsb and that only lasted 1 year and it popped again. reading on another f150 site that guy's are using a #8 1/2 inch stainless steel self tapping screw.

 

Little late for the screw, I gave it a wack and its now broken.

Cant wate to purchace another one that wont work either.

 

Yeah, the new one you get won't stay put either.....the screw is the only real fix.

 

Are there any aftermarket ones out there to replace the oem p.o.s

 

Mine is cracked... and the clip is gone! It is still in one piece so I might try to shore it up from underneath. Then I will use Stainless steel screws to hold it in place

 

Here's one from streetscene. Pics suck, but that's all I could find.

 

Only need 1 screw in center where the 2 pieces join
If you search on this site there used to be a post with pics.on how to fix it
Did mine 3 years now no problems.

 

all i did was drill 2 small holes on the passanger side cowl( just the plastic)then i used 2 tiny black zip-ties. you dont even see it unless you are really looking

 

Please post pics of this Mod!.........

 

i dont believe i would call it a "mod", it is just zipties.but when the sun comes back out i will snap some photos and post. it is real simple and you shouldnt them. from the pass. side i drilled the 2 holes towards the driver side 1/16th or 1/8th" bit.then i put the ziptie through the grids on the drivers side cowl, closest possible spots to the new holes i drilled, then snaked them through the drilled holes and tightened them down and cut off the loose ends. super easy to do. and doesnt add a screw to the front end to possibly rust later. pics will be up soon

 

Thanks! Looking forward to them!

 

I stainless screw in the middle fixed the problem 3 years ago. I think it took 30 seconds.

 

That 30sec included opening a beverage and turning on the radio.

 

My truck has the same issue. Also, the rubber ends on both pieces is rotted. I wonder if I get another one from Ford if it will be the newer design.
