2001 Sport Rear Hatch Glass Handle

[LaSuther]

I am looking for a replacement handle for the rear hatch glass on my 2001 Sport. I have not been able to find a new one through local dealer as it is out of production. I did find one online through a 3rd party "vintage" site but with the part, shipping, and an additional fee for routing to the 3rd party the cost jumped to $35. I've tried the grave yards but haven't found anything there either. The older models are different. Does anyone know if any other Ford products use the same part? Such as Expedition, Navigator? Or does anyone know of a source for new part?

Any 1998-2001 4 door or 1998-2002 Sport handle should work...

I believe I have seen the same handle or a very similar one on some Expeditions.

Thanks for the replies. There were some older sports (pre-2001) in the yards and the handle was different but I may be able to make it work if the holes in the glass are the same. I'm going back this weekend to look at other models

The 1991-1997 are different.
