Ford Push type Clips

[Talldude]

Hey all

Just a word of advice to all who do their own work on the car......


After I changed my shock to ST170 ones I had notice I did a crap job undoing a few clips in the trim.

I have left the trim half done up (yes I am that lazy) for a while but when I was trying to fit a ST170 snorkel I had noticed it was held in by the same push clip.

I rang Ford to find out how much a clip was, because I needed 5. They quoted me $4.54, I thought okay for all 5 then he said no.

EACH! OUCH!!!!

here is the little bastard




So I went on eBay and found 25 clips being sold in a box, with shipping all together came to $21.

I bought it, and lucky I did because I f@@@@d up the push clip for the snorkel hahahaha. If I was to pay Ford for 6 it would of ended up costing me $27.30!!!!!!!

Now I have a fair few spare just "in case", for next time. Seems there are fair few bits held by the same clip.

btw here is a link to the type. I am sure there are many others out there.

So my advice find out the part number from ford and look it up elsewhere to find cheaper alternatives.


Anyone else had similar issues/fixes?
