2013 Explorer XLT Eco
Hello everyone,

I'm happy to see that there are so many Explorer fans/owners out there. I bought a 2013 Explorer a few days ago. The whole family is ecstatic about it.

Because it's used, it came with some issues. One that's really bugging me is the broken Media Hub lid button. The spring inside it snapped and came off completely. Now it's really hard to open the lid.

My question is, where can I get a replacement lid online? The only place I found was from the official Ford parts site but it's really expensive:
http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/RenderIllustration.ashx?id=277380418&f=3&n=BB5Z7806024AB

The item is marked as % and costs over $200. Are there alternative sites that offer cheaper prices or aftermarket parts?

One other thing, the car is still under warranty, would that be covered?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Benny from LevittownFordSuperCenter is a vendor on this forum, send him a PM.

His pricing is very competitive.
 






The % = <04608B, though there is not a price for that particular part on the page.

If it's under warranty, take it to the dealer and see if they will replace it.
 






Thanks. I have PMed Benny.
I'll check with Ford this week to see if they'll cover it under the warranty.

Are those the prices for the groups of parts denoted by the square, triangle, etc?

I don't see a price for the single item, or it included in a group with a % sign.
 






see my edited post with descriptions. Not sure why there is such a difference between the first two listed or why there is a difference between SYNC and non SYNC. Not really sure if it includes the entire small media hub compartment or not. Hard to tell but that may explain the price difference if it does although the auxilary audio input jack is shown as only being $12.85.:dunno:
