• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford radiator support splash shield clip, a retaining clip built on the HC1 base that secures splash shields, under covers, and deflectors to the radiator support and lower body. Ford dealer catalogs list it under several names including Radiator Support Splash Shield Clip, Retaining Clip, Under Cover Retainer Nut, Rear Deflector Clip, and Lower Shield Clip, all referring to the same fastener, and this part supersedes the earlier numbers W715686-S439 and W790228-S900. It engages a panel or bracket and holds the shield or cover tight so it stays in place and does not loosen, sag, or rattle under road vibration and air pressure. You will find it used across a wide range of Ford and Lincoln applications including Explorer, F-150, Flex, MKS, MKX, and Mark LT across engines such as 2.0L, 2.3L, 3.5L, and 3.7L, often supplied with the lower shield, with applications spanning a broad range of model years. These are representative examples rather than a complete list. A broken or missing clip lets the splash shield or under cover loosen, sag, drag, or pull away, which can expose the engine bay or radiator area, cause rubbing or noise, and let a panel hang down at speed. Ford supplies these as standard service hardware because they are commonly damaged during shield removal, so they are typically replaced whenever the related cover is taken off. Confirm the correct clip for your specific vehicle and position against your VIN before ordering, since coverage varies by application.
