What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Rob Binsky]

yup. my order for 2 lefts is placed. ill let everyone know how it goes.

Did you get your 2 left parts yet, and install? I’m heading to Ford dealership tomorrow to get my hood deflector installed. i’m thinking while there I might will place my order for 2 lefts as well. I think it’ll help with any hood vibration.

Actually yes I did they just showed up this morning and I just finished putting them on about an hour ago.

it literally took about 4 seconds to do it install each one, the left fits on the right the right fits on the left. I don't know what Ford's difference in part numbers is but I can tell you that my bet is that both parts are identical they just chose to probably charge 30 cents more for the left side versus the right side or whatever but go ahead and order them because they're perfect

Yay, thanks. This is good news. Just ordered 2 left hood hinge seals with points. $0 Plus shipping.

Is your Bronco equipped with the underhood insulation?

Mine is and I have not noticed any Hood wobble yet.

I'm just wondering if the hood wobble people are experiencing is because they don't have the seals or the insulated hood liner. Maybe that slight weight to the hood liner is enough to not have wobble? Then again the day I bought my Bronco it came with the hood liner and I already had the hood struts at home waiting so I haven't really driven my Bronco at all without the hood struts maybe those are also contributing to the fact of no hood wobble.....

No, my 2025 Outer Banks Sasquatch did not come with an insulated hood liner. I am hoping the hood hinge seal helps. I don’t even know if it’ll be a problem. I also have another 2025 Outer Banks (no Sasquatch), and when I had the aeroskin 2 installed, I didn’t find any noticeable wobble. I do think both the Steeda strut tower brace and the hood liner will be of some help in stability, but gonna try the seals first.

If there is a wobble remaining there’s another solution

I ordered the underhood insulation but it got cancel because the dealership didn't want to ship it. No one told me and I've been waiting for a week; I was like at least call me. Anyhow, I'm trying to find one that shipping isn't $100 (no joke). Do you have any ideas? Here's the part#: M1PZ16738B

I mean honestly the shipping is high because it's a large flat box. you're paying shipping for the dimensions it's not going to be very heavy, but it's going to just be a huge ass box.

I'd say you might just have to pay that shipping if you want one.

Or call every Ford dealership within 100 miles and drive and pick it up cuz that would still be cheaper than shipping

Honestly I dont know why you would want one, heat in the engine compartment is the enemy of a turbocharged engine. Anything that holds heat like gaskets or engine covers will work against you its not just about saving money for them not to include these parts its also to lessen warranty claims. Your engine will perform better and be more efficient without this stuff. I have no hood wobble at any speed on any rough surfaces. If I did it would be a warranty claim until they got it right. Just saying

but its in my factory new 26 BL? why would some not have it and some have it?

Mine has the under hood liner as well however I cant see how it would make a difference in hood wobble.

I appreciate the shipping reply. And yes, I agree, my 2025 doesn’t have it and your 2026 model year does. I’ve had that hood insulation on a lot of (other) very hot engines and they were absolutely all good. I’ll get one ordered soon.

Got my aeroskin 2 hood deflector on yesterday. Noticeable wobble on hood. Today I got and installed my 2 left hood hinge seals - which are exactly the same and took 10 minutes to install . I haven’t driven yet to see if it eliminates the wobble. I also ordered the 1/4" ID fuel line to insert as some people have suggested. $6.79 on amazon. If that doesn’t fix it, I think I’ll live with the wobble. I think the difference between my two 2025 Outer Banks which both have the hood deflector and one has the wobble and the other doesn’t - is that the one without the wobble is in an area I rarely get above 50 mph, and the one with the wobble is in an area I often get up to 80 mph.

i told ya! both those seals are the exact same, with different part numbers. they are cheap, the easiest install ever and may even keep less water from dirtying the engine compartment

They were part of a sound deadening package. If the trim model didnt have it standard or part of an option then you didnt get them.
