• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford wheel opening molding nut, an extruded U-nut style fastener with an approximately M4.2 thread that secures wheel opening moldings, wheel arch flares, and bumper cover edges to the body. Ford dealer catalogs list it under several names including Wheel Opening Molding Nut and Bumper Cover Nut, all referring to the same clip-on nut. It slides onto a panel flange and provides a threaded landing so a screw can draw the molding or cover tight against the body, holding the trim flush so it does not lift or rattle at speed. You will find this nut used on Ford and Lincoln applications including Escape and Lincoln MKC, in left lower, right lower, and front lower positions, with model years spanning roughly the early 2010s into the late 2010s. These are representative examples rather than a complete list. A broken, missing, or corroded molding nut leaves the molding or bumper cover edge without a secure threaded anchor, which lets the trim loosen, vibrate, pull away from the body, or come off, and because each molding uses several of these nuts a single failure can leave a section flapping. Ford supplies these as standard service hardware because they are commonly damaged during trim or bumper removal, so they are typically replaced whenever a molding or cover is taken off. Confirm the correct nut for your specific vehicle and trim position against your VIN before ordering, since coverage varies by application.
