• Description:

  This genuine Ford deflector nut, catalog number W716529-S901, secures an air deflector and the related pickup-box-side trim on the Ford F-150 Lightning from the 22 through 25 model years equipped with the 5.5-foot box. It fastens the deflector or box-side molding to the body side of the cargo box so the trim stays seated against wind load and road vibration. Ford lists this fastener in the exterior trim group for the pickup box. As a threaded body nut it threads onto a stud or screw at the molding mounting point and holds the deflector flat and evenly gapped against the sheet metal. Buyers searching for this nut are usually reattaching a box-side deflector or trim piece that has loosened, shifted, or come away at one end, or they have lost the original nut while removing the molding for bedliner, accessory, or paint work. A missing or stripped nut lets the trim lift, flutter, or buzz at speed and can allow wind noise and water to work behind the molding. Because the original may distort or lose thread engagement when removed, fresh hardware restores the designed clamp and keeps the deflector tight. As a genuine Ford component it matches the original thread size, pitch, and seating profile exactly, so it threads on cleanly without cross-threading or stripping the stud. Installing the correct original nut returns the box-side deflector to a flush, secure fit and keeps the cargo box exterior looking finished. This listing is for the genuine Ford nut built to original specification.
