Windshield cowling question

Just picked up my truck from having the windshield replaced. Is there a clip or plug that's suppose to fill this hole (one on each side). Don't remember it before and it looks like something was there. The cowling seems to be very loose on the ends too. Thanks!

They replaced the windshield under warranty so I don't plan to buy them.

Argh... doesn't anyone read?

Look down 3 pages in 2004-2008 F150 Forum... (as of now)

Here is a linky of both fittings.

https://www.f150online.com/forums/20...ease-help.html

Within that post I even posted the Ford Part Numbers for convenience. Like what, you want me to buy them for you?

Sheesh! I had a rough night... sorry... :o

Looks like the forum is having an image caching issue right now.
