obscure fastener question

[RF Overlord]

Does anyone have a size or part number for the christmas trees that secure the sides of the front bumper cover?

I've tried a few different places and the only ones I can find that are even close are either too skinny or too fat.

Do you mean the plastic rivets?

Measure the hole to get the diameter you need.

Are they supposed to be body color from Mercury or are they black on every color?

I replaced a few on my rear cover at the rear tire wheel well with some from Lowes. I took a used one with me and matched it up..cover is tighter now with new fasteners instead of sloppy where the old worn ones were. The link shows pricing for like a bag of 4 or 5 pieces..I know I bought some in singular or maybe two packs.. They are in the aisle with the specialty fasteners..that have the pull out trays to find them..not just loose in a bin or hanging on the wall.

I didn't look thru all the Ford pages, but this place seems to have alot of different clips and such..however, most need to buy by the box, not singular.

I believe the ford P/N is W705589-S300

They are black on our SB as well. As some of you know the SB was in a low speed deer/car fender bender on Paula's return trip from MV9. The repair shop had the bumper cover off and the pushinski's were replaced and I was thinking maybe they forgot to paint them. :)

Eric, if your body shop used pushinskis, that could be a problem The factory spec is for gozintas. I just ordered the Dorman ones mentioned by Krytin and they should be here in a few days. I'll let you know how they fit.

The pushinskis are what's used to put into the gozintas silly :rolleyes:

I can verify this tomorrow evening since I have a new one in the Marauder w/ original plastic bag from the dealer w/ the label intact crabby125 :)

Jackpot.

I was able to order a box of 20 from a local CarQuest and they are an exact match.

Thanks again, Krytin!

Your welcome anytime!

They do come in handy - I think I have been using them on the corners of the windshield/wiper cowl/cover as well.
