Missing part, were to go?

I just noticed this black hard rubber piece missing today. It's been gone since car pictures I have when it was on the lot. I'm guessing go to Ford dealer. Any other suggestions, body shop, find out what part is called and try to get one???
Here it is. The top left corner piece is missing- see the one is there on right top corner.
Any knowledge would be welcome.

I would say Ford dealer's body shop or a junk yard.

Exactlly, I can't believe I just noticed it either. I'm afraid I'll be told I need a whole front end to get that part

Junk yard. Seems like the easiest fix.

I wonder how it stays in place, good glue/goop
I'll check at Ford body shop when I can get out again.

I have no idea. Probably some sort of glue.

Ditto. For that much, I would have just pulled the other off.

Seriously, I would have checked wrecked cars on eBay. Thrown a vendor a 20 and be done.

No worries. Glad it worked out.

$50 was with my Club discount, msrp over $60. I know it was outrages but I'm was thinking pulling one off would have messed up the piece, so I bit the bullet. Too much, yes. Still one of the cheapest things I've bought for the car
