• Description:

  This genuine Ford lift-gate finish panel clip, catalog number W716646-S300, retains the rear applique and finish panel on the lift-gate of the Ford Flex from the 09 through 19 model years, holding the decorative trim panel that spans the tailgate between the tail lamps tight against the sheet metal. Ford lists it in the exterior trim hardware group as the applique clip that pins the lift-gate finish panel to the gate skin. The clip engages a hole in the lift-gate and grips the back of the applique so the panel stays flat, centered, and evenly gapped. Buyers searching for this clip are typically dealing with a finish panel or applique that has lifted at a corner, bowed outward, or come loose after the original clips aged, cracked, or released, leaving the trim rattling or sitting proud of the gate. A failed clip can also let water and dirt collect behind the panel and allow the applique to chatter when the gate is closed. Because the clip is a snap-in retainer, the original frequently breaks or loses spring tension when the panel is pried off, so fresh hardware is needed to restore a tight, flush fit. As a genuine Ford component it matches the original locking geometry exactly, so it seats in the factory holes and grips the applique without forcing or distorting the trim. Installing the correct original clip returns the lift-gate finish panel to an even, rattle-free fit and keeps the rear of the vehicle looking finished. This listing is for the genuine Ford clip built to original specification.
