Ordered a set as well, this forum is costing me the price of a Baby Bronco’s “baby.”
I see accessories I want / need and well I fold like a cheap dollar bill! Then hit the order button.
Thanks for all the valuable information.

Good find Wireman! Thank you for this tip and the purchase info. Just ordered for my '23 OBX.

I just washed my BS. When I was wiping down the rear window it looked like the wiring clip wasn’t pushed in all the way.
Sure enough, I was able to push it forward. It the tension on the wire pulled it out just a bit.
My covers should be in tomorrow.

Post #14, third picture shows adhesion promoter.
Does not surprise me that Ford left off a cover like this, when they leave off under dash covers, engine covers, and hood insulation covers.
But I still like the little guy.

I never had an issue with the connection. My concern was how easy the prong on the heating element, where the coiled wire connects, would bend. Bend it to many times and it will surely break off the heating element.
It's very soft metal and I bent it somehow not realizing it. That's how I ended up with the coil catching between the glass and gasket, thus a serious water leak.
Like I stated earlier, these should cost about 10 cents to make. Crazy price for what they are but it will help to keep from doing the same thing again.
Having that connector exposed isn't the best design by Ford. That window opening is fairly small and it's easy to hit them or catch the wire when putting stuff in the back IMO.
Installed mine from Amazon yesterday. Definitely good peace of mind but $15 for a couple of $.10 parts is hard to stomach. They do have to cover the cost of a mold and the labor to put all those little pieces of double sided tape on them. I'm sure this is not a high volume product for them. Just imagine how much Ford would charge for these!

We all know where these are made. Yea the middle man makes the profit here for sure. I guess these will fit the full size Bronco also so the connections must be similar.
Ford, probably at least $20.

Just checked Amazon and sadly , as of now, they are sold out. Not sure if they'll get more.

This one is for the Ford Bronco, see if you think it’ll fit the Bronco Sport. It does not say free returns however.

Just put mine on today. I can't believe they just left those exposed like they did. Cheers!
