I just went to check my Aviator to see what it had there and found this. One on each side.

My '21 LTD is missing the Strut Insulator which does not cover the top side of the wheelwell liner. Even if the insulator were installed, the look is "unfinished". Was it confirmed if the Aviator plastic covers shown in above attachments/earler post are a direct fit to an '20 or '21 Explorer?
BTW, I'm also missing the Rear Air Deflector and my build date is 3/21.
 






I’ve noticed this part on some video reviews about the ST, and others are missing it.

It’s listed as an “insulator” and covers the drivers side strut tower. I honestly can’t see any purpose to this other than maybe sound absorption.

I had my dealer order and install it for me. Didn't notice any difference with it on. Except for my satisfaction of having it.

Would you know the part numbers for the LH and RH side engine compartment covers? I believe these are on your Lincoln Avaitor.
Thanks.
What vehicle did you want to install them on? You show a Mercedes and John Deere.
