Some parts are simply a dealer only item. You'll probably just have to go to the dealer parts department and have them look it up. Sometimes you have to buy a larger part to get the small part you need.

Plus the Fusions have a cabin air filter. So unless you have your windows open a lot and the wind blows dust in, dust won't accumulate very fast on the dash anyway. Those cabin filters make a huge difference.

Hi all, Been browsing this site for many months now as my parents are purchasing a Fusion SEL V6 (which I'll get to drive occasionally). Thought I would go ahead and register so I can add my knowledge and maybe help others out. I agree that black, at least on the outside of cars, does show dirt more than white. I have both a black and white car. The black car shows dirt quickly, while on the white car I don't realize how dirty it is until I wash it. This sounds really wrong, but that's the way it is. I think it is because black is already a pure dark color, so any dirt makes it lighter and noticeable. White cars come in so many shades that when dirt accumulates, it simply looks like the shade has changes so isn't as noticeable. As for interior, my personal preference are colors lighter than black. One reason is simply I don't like dark interiors and want something with a little brightness. Fusions probably aren't so bad, but I have been in some cars that make me feel like I'm climbing into a dark hole. Another is that black, by nature, absorbs heat. With leather or vinyl, that could really hurt on a hot, sunny day when wearing shorts.
