Intro/Question about ‘trim’ piece above bumper

[Lee1993]

Hello all. I picked up my 2017 Raptor this past weekend. This is my 1st Ford, so I’m a complete newbie when it comes to these trucks. Could someone tell me what this plastic piece right above the bumper is called? It seems to not be fully in place and is bugging the hell out of me. Debating if I should just take a rubber mallet to it or if I should remove the fender flare in order to push it back in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It goes all the way around the inside of your headlight. You can just pry it out to take it all the way off and see how it's connected. However, I would not do this unless the truck is in warm weather it will break tabs. You can like you said just wriggle it around enough to b=go back in place. Common trouble.

Just put some elbow grease in it and it will pop back in.

I was able to pop it back in after loosening the fender flare a bit. I should’ve done a little more research before posting. Thanks Muchmore.

Questions like this are exactly why we’re here because we’ll eventually have some issue that someone else tripped over.
