Default Should the escos have these..............

Just wondered as ive seen these on ebay but ive never seen an escos with them in. It seems the cut outs in the wings are there so i assume they were fitted with them from the factory?

It seems funny to me that they'd put the cut outs in the wings if they never fitted them from the factory.

Anyone got any under bonnet pics from a brand new one out of a brochure or something?

Im confused now as i thought they went in the cut outs half way down the wing edge. I have the top ones next to the seal, and looking at the ones on ebay again they look like these. Im sure the basic escorts have them where we have the cut outs though as i remember jet washing them off all the time at work and sending them flying!!

the "sierra " fits in this cut out -part nr 6096256
BUT the part manual escort cosw states 6612455 and this is a foam soft unit with tape on it . go too your local ford delar and he will schek the part nr ..if you dont belive me....
