I need a clip

I need one of the clips on the back of the center dash trim piece around the radio and a/c controls. Where can I get one? Ford is telling me that is not a serviceable part and come attacthed to the trim piece if I buy one. Anyone have some laying around or know where to get them?? Thanks for the help guys

Most auto parts stores carry misc clips and fasteners. They might have one but if not you may just have to go to a salvage yard.

I would try a junk yard or Fastenal. Fastenal has all kinds of automotive clips and plastic fasteners, but you will more than likely have to wait for it to get sent from their distribution point. It is normally pretty quick though.

This company has some hard to find items, it would help if you could post a picture of it.

If you are talking about the little white plastic ones that go into the dash, and then the radio bezel pops into them... I'm with you and need one as well.

Such as the ones that go into these spots?

shoot a little rtv silicone in there. how often are you going to pull it apart. stays pliable if you need to get in there again. if there is enough flat surface area try some velcro.

well, I ended up not needing one, I am missing 1 but 1 of them on the bottom was a little bent and was not clipping in right so I bent it a little and got to sit in there correctly so thanks for all the input guys

I tried the clipsandfasteners.com but was unable to find one after searching through all 15 pages of Ford items

Yea unfortunately I need one as well, popped off and fell into the void. I have looked EVERYWHERE and without a specific part name or number it seems impossible to find. I may try a parts yard the next time I replace my head unit. How is something so common so hard to find? Half the @#$% truck is held together with these stupid things! I am MADDDDDDDDDDDDDD~Well sort of?
