Anyone else missing the panel under the dash above the passenger side fuse box where the floor air ducts are.

I wasn't interested in this piece until I saw it is sound insulated. May not do much but it has to do something.

Yes. You will see when you get the part how simple it attaches.

Covers the fan motor housing. Definitely muffles the sound. Only Ford didn't think it was important or was it they didn't think anyone would notice it missing?

Thatā€™s the passenger-side dash plateā€”Iā€™m talking about the engine bay dash panel nuts. I ordered the dash panel, but just assumed the nuts required for installation would be included. Colonel Angus indicates they are a separate purchase in his post.

You might be referring to this:

Dash Panel Insulator (under hood on firewall) M1PZ-7801588-A (40.63" L x 4.13" W x 0.5" H), 4X NUT-W709793-S439, Nut U Spring M6 Push On, 10/26/2020, BRONCO SPORT (C430N), EEC 70/157 AND ECE R901 PKG

Thanks! Iā€™ll check it out. Hard to imagine Ford would sell a part like the insulator dash panel without including the means to attach it, but after reading this thread nothing would surprise me.

ā€¦ everything I bought that required attachments were extra cost. You probably do not need to purchase the insulator dash panel push on nuts if you have any similar - they seem common

OOPS...copied and pasted the wrong part number. My mistake.

My driver side panel under the steering column is not there.
Also, we've noticed a serious amount of air moving into the cabin from the driver side. So, I'm guessing there is also insulation missing somewhere.
Also, I'm super concerned with the engine cover but I don't have in either.

Post a pic of the missing panel. The engine cover doesn't serve any purpose, don't worry about it.

I'm guessing you meant to say, "Also, I'm not super concerned with the engine cover..."

Is that right?

As you probably know, the engine cover is just cosmetic, as Justin said. Our BS BL did not come with one. It's been a while, but I believe it was discontinued by Ford. I didn't worry about it.

Some of the other missing parts are/were a different story -- like the panel under the dash above the passenger side fuse box (the subject of this thread).

Also, some owners did not get the gas funnel and/or the towing eye, for example. Some rear seats (including ours) were supposed to have folding headrests but got fixed ones.
