• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford retainer nut used to secure the center high mount stop lamp and a range of related bolt on exterior trim across a very wide span of Ford cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. Ford catalogs it as a Center High Mount Stop Light Nut, also listed as a High Mount Lamp Retainer Nut and as a Nut, and it is a nylon push style fastener that threads onto the plastic or metal studs behind the lamp housing. The same fastener is called out in the factory catalog for wheel opening moldings, mud guards and bumper cover attachments on regular cab, super cab and crew cab bodies, which is why it appears in service illustrations spanning decades of Ford production rather than a single vehicle line. It replaces the older Ford numbers 383356-S, N806334-S, W302740 and W718572-S300. Functionally the nut spreads clamp load across the mounting flange and resists backing out under vibration, keeping the third brake lamp sealed against its gasket so water cannot track into the lamp housing or through the sheet metal into the cab or cargo area. The reason most people search for it is a stop lamp that rattles, sits proud of the body, or leaks water into the headliner or cargo box after a lamp replacement, or an original nut that was cracked, stripped or lost during disassembly. These nylon fasteners work harden and become brittle with age and are intended to be replaced rather than reused whenever the lamp or trim panel is removed. This is a factory Ford fastener produced to the original thread and retention specification, so it holds torque and sealing pressure the way the assembly plant unit did.
