• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford retaining clip, cataloged simply as Clip with a 3.5MM manufacturer note, used as a park lamp retainer and bumper grille clip. It is true cross platform Ford hardware, with verified applications spanning the 2007 through 2014 Ford Edge, 2005 through 2007 Ford Five Hundred, 2008 through 2009 Ford Taurus, 2002 through 2005 Ford Thunderbird, 2000 through 2006 Lincoln LS, 2007 through 2015 Lincoln MKX, 2004 through 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and the 2005 through 2007 Mercury Montego and 2008 through 2009 Mercury Sable. Because it is shared across so many lines and generations there is no single model or year range that defines it. Functionally the clip is a spring steel U-nut that slides over a flange or panel edge and provides a threaded or barbed capture point for the screw that holds the park lamp, bumper grille, or energy absorber in place, spreading load so the plastic component is not distorted and the fastener cannot vibrate loose. Buyers need this part when a clip has rusted through, been distorted, or launched into the bumper cavity during a headlamp, grille, or fascia removal, when a lamp or grille rattles because a clip is missing, or when the original clip spins in place and will no longer hold thread. These clips are routinely destroyed on removal, so having correct Ford replacements on hand before disassembly is the practical approach. Seat the clip fully onto the panel flange with the threaded eye aligned to the mounting hole before starting the screw so the fastener does not cross thread.
