Anyone know of a good source for these outside of Ford? And a good p/n? I've located a OEM p/n via search, but have confirmed 100% an aftermarket pn. *Ryan* Trollin!

Call it capitalism. Why should the aftermarket be expected to produce a product for which the expected market is very small? Motorcraft BRS46 or Ford F5RZ1S177AA. $7.88 each from RockAuto.

The dang thing keeps wanting to go in crooked. These large, plastic Rotunda seal installers cover up everything making it hard to see if the seal is aligned evenly with the bore. Finally dug through all my Rotunda tools and came up with a large, flat-faced, steel driver that popped it right in. Stick the seal in place by hand first to get it as even as possible with the bore. Use any flat, driver face that is at least as large as, or larger than, the outer seal edges, then give it a quick whack to drive it home. This shouldn't this hard but then, its a Contour - is anything ever easy on this car?
