I have an '03 Explorer XLS. The plastic panel just above the license plate, covering the rear liftgate handle, is starting to fall apart. It seems like, when you pull the handle to open the tailgate, its putting to much pressure on the plastic panel and it has started to crack. I'd like to replace this part, but I can't find it anywhere. No diagrams or parts lists seem to have it listed.
