• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford wheel opening molding retainer nut, a special clip-on nut that anchors wheel arch and side moldings to the body sheet metal. Ford dealer catalogs list it under several names including Wheel Opening Molding Retainer Nut, Door Molding Nut, Wheel Arch Molding Nut, and Clip Special, all referring to the same retainer. It clips onto a panel flange and provides a captive threaded landing so a screw can draw the molding tight against the body, keeping the trim flush and secure so it does not lift, rattle, or pull away at speed. You will find this nut used across the Ford Transit van family including E-Transit, Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, and Transit-350 HD in 130 inch and 148 inch wheelbase configurations with and without the side door and extended body, in left lower and right lower positions, with model years spanning roughly the mid 2010s into the mid 2020s. These are representative examples rather than a complete list. A broken or missing retainer nut leaves the molding without a secure threaded anchor, which lets the trim loosen, vibrate, shift, or come off, and because each molding uses several of these a single failure can leave a section flapping. Ford supplies these as standard service hardware because they are commonly damaged during trim removal, so they are typically replaced whenever a molding is taken off. Confirm the correct nut for your specific vehicle, wheelbase, and trim position against your VIN before ordering.
