I have a 2012 ford f250 Lariat. While installing a new headlight bulb, I noticed that 2 of the steel spring clips that hold the lower part of the center grill are broken. Went to the "stealer" to order a couple. Guess what? they don't offer it. WHAT?????? you have to buy the whole grill.
Wonder if anyone knows of a source or part number for these clips. I've been searching for 3 days now. If any of you have any spares from perhaps upgrading please contact me, as I don't like the idea of not having my grill fully secured.
Send me a private message if you have some you'd sell.

Try this site...don’t know if they carry them.

 

Try amazon here

 

Thank you for the responses. I did find some and they are on order. Can't believe that Ford forces you to buy the complete grill. "STEALERS"

 

If possible, post the part number and where you got them from so if others search and find this thread, they’ll have an answer.

 

Sorry, you are correct, I should have posted where I found them. Actually found them on ebay (Super Duty Special Grill Grille Clip # N808307S100). They are listed for ford excursion, but as the full description says, they will fit the f250/350 and 450.

 

I can believe it. At some point they have to stop breaking out the parts and sell it as an assembly

 

I can understand having to break out the parts, but these clips are a standard item on various models, and actual common hardware. I'm convinced that it's just a way for them to make more money.
