Retainer Clips/Rivets for Bumper Cover

[SomeBroncoDude]

I lost the cover for my stock plastic bumper so I bought a replacement:

However, this piece doesn't come with the appropriate rivets so I have to buy my own. Does anybody know the exact part# for these rivets? Or will any generic retainer/rivet work?

Thank you.

Body panel clips are like $10 for a box of 100 assorted clips. They may not be exact matches to the ones Ford uses - but it just needs to fit snug and securely in the hole.

Those damn clips with the phillips head (don't think there are any on the bumper, but the fender clips and rear taillights...) - I hate those with a passion and have started to replace them with the push pin type every time I touch one.

If you are worried about the right side not matching the left - just replace them both, or get Flip or Ducatti or someone to get you the official part number and order the OEM clips.

I've actually purchased that exact same set... I returned it because not a single one fit. Went to the dealer and none of them seem willing to part with the clips/retainers, nor willing to compare the part to the ones they have on stock. They all want me to buy the entire cover which comes with the retainers for $100+.

I bought the part from Amazon but it doesn't come with the retainers... can't seem to find ones that fit.

If anybody has had to replace these before and know exactly which ones to buy, I'd really appreciate the info otherwise it seems like it's gonna' be a needle in a haystack search. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that. 4 of them from that set are in mine right now - maybe they have random sizes in them. Which wouldn't really surprise me at all. But there's a lot of different kits. Sorry I don't know the exact part number for you, but you could just take it into Napa or any other local parts store and likely find something that fits - those fender clips are very common

Wait a minute... are you saying you are using one of those rivets from that set you posted on your actual Bronco? In the same capacity that I need them for? As in... to attach the fog light cover to the plastic cover?

If so... would you mind telling me which one of those rivets/retainers you used? That way maybe I can search specifically for that type. Thanks.

Hmm

Mine is on the plastic cowling on the mod
bumper - but I do have a plastic bumper with fog lights so I’ll take a look at that specifically later today and post back

Actually I figured it out. I bought some more random clips and found ones that kinda' worked. I glued them onto the cover and made it work. Thanks.
