Hi Folks,
I am trying to locate the piece from where the dash meets the console for my 1984 Cougar LS. It is a roughly rectangular piece of black plastic that frames the climate controls, radio and the cigarette lighter/antenna switch.
I'm including a picture and a drawing of the part. Any leads to find it would be appreciated.

Is the picture the exact one you need? The pic shows a shaft-style radio without the system sentry lights.
That trim came in about 4 variations- With/without the system sentry lights, and shaft-style radio/din-style radio. I don't have any extras, but I figured I would help you find the one you need.

Shaft were manual tuning, din was electronic tuning.

I don't have the shaft style radio. I think what's in there is aftermarket. I am guessing since there are no holes for shafts, it's a DIN style. I don't know what Sentry Lights are so I think I don't have them. Other than that, the pict attached is also a good example. Any help is appreciated.

Could you post the URL or EBay item # ? I went to EBay but couldn't find it.
Thanks,

Also, I believe this is the auction that Vinnie referred to...

Thanks Eric. Yep, that's it. I was at work and couldn't get to Ebay to get the link. Parts are getting harder and harder to find. You had better snag it.
