Rod retaining clips for tailgate

I'm sure this has been posted before but I couldn't find with a google search.

What's the right part number for the plastic rod retainer clips that attach to the tailgate rod and latch?

I think this is it. Ordered. $30 for a set of 10. Couldn't find where to get just one.

They tend to go by color to indicate size, but of course not always. If you wander into a NAPA they should be able to help you. Ideally you want to bring at least a portion of the old one for reference

Anyone have the exact ford part number for these retaining clips?

The dorman clips are junk. I've tried 2 that keep coming off. I'm securing clip to tailgate latch first, making sure it spins freely, then setting rod, then securing plastic clip.
