Help with dash board center cover part

[Czaplewskin]

Hello, I just had my A/C repaired on my 2019 Lariat at my local Ford Dealer, & when they put my dash back together, they either broke or failed to replace this part. Does anybody know what this is called or have the part #? My truck has over $5K into my A/C ( I have an extended warranty), but Ford left my dash (& windshield) looking like garbage. (I also had to pay over $400, even though I had a zero deductible).

I would like this covered back up like it was when I purchased new. Thanks!

I believe that's the sunload sensor. It is used to determine just how intense the sun is that comes into the cab, so it can adjust the climate control accordingly. It is also used to sense when it's time to turn on the auto headlights.

Looks like they just managed to bust the top cap off of it - no idea how they managed that, as that sensor comes out with the full long bezel that covers the defrost vents.

I'm pretty sure you are looking for this part:

Part number is: EB3Z-13A018-B

I'd go make a stink at the dealer about this. Good luck!
