Tremor fender vent was falling off…

[rc2125]

Parked my tremor, noticed the fender vent thing wasn’t seated in fully and had big gap on top. Carefully wiggled it and it easily came off/out. Noticed two of the retaining tabs/clips were broke off. Got a light and looked in the hole and noticed quite a pile of leaves n pine needles down at the bottom, inside fender area. Used shop vac n grabber tool to get them all out. Not wanting the hassle of dealing with dealer, I just ordered replacement ones that stick on, allegedly made by Ford. Not wanting to store leaves in my fender, I stuffed some pool noodle in the spot I figure the leaves get in, by the hood hinges. Quite the path for them to get in right there. Hopefully solves issue. The tabs on the original vent inserts are very fragile/brittle/thin and I can see how they broke so easily. When I carefully took the p side off, one of its tabs was missing also. Figured I’d post, in case others don’t wanna have fender’s full of leaves etc.

I think the replacement looks better anyway?

Were they missing the strip of 3M adhesive tape that holds them in place in addition to the clips or did you just not get that in the pictures?
