Dropped Soft Top Bolt

[Cl1ckst3r]

So, I dropped one of the soft top bolts in the chasm between the body and the trim panels. I can't see it, so I don't know if I could fish it out with a magnet tool. So, does anyone know if I can just order this bolt? If so, where and what is the part number?

Alternatively, I guess I could try to pull the trim panels out but I feel like I will break something.

Looking for guidance.......

Here is a picture of the soft top bracket with the missing bolt. It into the hole just below.

I didnt order it. Apparently there is a "national backorder" I found a local dealership that actually had them in stock. Autofair Ford in Manchester NH.

Does anyone have the part number of the bracket that fits behind the upper two bolts of the soft top mount?

You should be able to pull up the floor panel (super easy) and pull back the bottom of the side panel trim. Should be pretty easy to fish out.

I have had this fear from the first time I took my top off. So easy for bolts to drop. Even with a towel in the gap, it still makes me nervous.
