This looks like a weather seal of some sort hanging down from my radiator. Anyone here have an idea what this might be? Would this be a warranty issue?

Thanks for your help.

It looks to be like a locust is hanging quite fine :giggle: jokes aside, I am not quite sure what that is, hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in!

It is the foam they use to seal the shrouding so the air coming in the front doesn't escape through cracks

Foam with sticky on one side

Ford could have done better

Mine was barely a few months old and after a few off road trips and power washings/car washes it was hanging down too. I ripped it off

It's a phallus, clearly. :giggle:


I would take it to the dealer and let them check it out for you. Might be a warranty issue. If not, they would be able to tell you if it is important or not.

It is a cheap piece of foam. Mine did the same and I just pulled it out, over a year ago. No problems since.

Since no one else will give you a serious or correct answer;

Its a dikfer.
I will never forget this girl in high school me and this other guy were messing with. We kept telling her she had a dikfer on her. She was getting frustrated and finally yells out " WHAT THE HELL IS A DICK FER!"

Hardly being able to contain our laughter, we said something like if your parents haven't had that talk with you yet, they teach you about it in sex ed.
