whats this part called?

Hey all,

Its been a while since I posted but I'm picking up a 99 Mountaineer AWD tomorrow and the chrome piece that surrounds the grill and headlights is broken. Does anyone know what this part is called and is it responsible for holding up the lights? Is it just the entire grill or is it a separte piece? Thanks for your help, I'm sure I'll have many more questions after I get it home.

Jay

If it has the grill I'm thinking it has, then its all one piece. The grill goes around the head lights also. It doesn't hold the head light in.

If it's at all like a 98 Explorer, then it's actually three pieces screwed together. The center main grille. and two end pieces.

The Explorer and Mountaineer have different grills. My 98 Mountaineer grill is all one piece and goes around the headlight. But I think your right about the Explorer grill, I think they are 3 pieces
