Is your Navigator still within the 4 year/50,000 mile New Car Warranty? I am assuming yes, so my advice: The best course of action would be to make a service appointment and have it properly repaired, or most likely replaced. Or have it taken care of on your next oil change. Perhaps stop by one day so they can take a look and order the piece if it is not a stock item, so it can be a one day fix. If outside warranty, or you just want to fix it yourself, I will leave it to others to give cleaning and adhesive advice. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

vipersinu2 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Yes it is in warranty, the truck is 2019 with 12,300 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Label Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Image appears to show 13,492 miles, but maybe your odometer is in a different location than mine. Anyway, I would agree with having the dealer replace it unless it was damaged somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vipersinu2 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Florida heat may have played a roll, we don't drive that much. It was a hot day for sure. I went to adust the vent and I seen the piece laying in the vent. Who know how long its been like that. Not sure when it happend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piece does not look damaged (as in blunt force contact etc.), so there should be no problem having it replaced under warranty, if you go that route. Good luck.

Craig Smallwood Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 Is the vent trim sold separately ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is over 4 years old, and so were the last posts/replies. So you may not get many replies from the OP and others. My thoughts on your question: I do not know if the trim piece is sold separately. However, my thoughts are...it is doubtful that small trim piece would be available for purchase separately/alone, as a new piece. The best place to get an accurate answer would be to stop by the Parts Department of your local Lincoln or Ford Dealer and ask them. Or you can try to fined a vent in your local Salvage Yards and/or Carparts.com. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
