• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford under cover retainer, the specialized push-in clip that secures the radiator support splash shield and lower under-cover panels on 2010-2019 Ford Explorer and Flex models. Ford catalogs the part as an Under Cover Retainer, and it fastens the belly pan and air-deflector shields to the radiator support and lower body, keeping the aerodynamic under-tray and splash shielding tight against the structure. These clips protect the underside from road spray, debris and airflow disruption, and hold the panels that channel cooling air. Drivers replace them because the original plastic retainer becomes brittle with age and heat, breaks during service, or pops loose, leaving a shield sagging, flapping at speed, or dragging on the ground. A missing retainer often leads to a scraping or rattling noise from beneath the front of the vehicle and can let a panel tear away entirely. This OEM retainer matches the factory design and locks positively into the original mounting holes without modification, restoring a secure shield installation. Inspect the adjacent clips while working in the area, as brittle retainers frequently fail together.

• Notes: Included with lower shield.
