What is the name of the plastic pins that hold the radiator cover in place? I have looked a few places and can't find them. I'm pretty sure I'm not using the correct nomenclature.

Thanks.

 

I don't know the proper name, but when I broke one and couldn't find one to match at the local auto parts stores, I went to the parts counter at my local Ford dealer and showed him one. He went in back and came out with a box of assorted sizes and let me pick what I needed. He was busy, so he didn't charge me for it.

 

I guess that is what I will do unless someone on here knows what they are called.

Thanks.

 

They're just called body retainers.

Hope that helps ya!

 

go to the bone yard and get a few for pennys

 

It does, thanks a bunch.


I wish, there is a decent one for 60-70 miles from where I live.

 

They're generally called push pins. There is even a special pliers made for removing them, but it's not really needed. It does make removing them a bit quicker and easier which is nice when your dealing with a large number of them. Most auto parts stores have them. NAPA probably has one of the larger selections.
