I've somehow lost about half of the clips that hold the rear grill into the bumper cover and it has started to make a rattling noise. Has anyone else ever tried to find replacements for these? Is there a part number to get them from Ford, or did you find a suitable replacement elsewhere? Any help is much appreciated. TIA.

Just go to Walmart and buy a box of the metal triangular binder clips. A dollar will get you about dozen of them.
They'll work on both the front and rear lower grilles.

 WOW.... after buying about 15 of those special clips from the dealership last year (for about 14.00  ) I wish I would have thought of that. I think those binder clips would work BETTER. And those ford clips are a PITA to get in and out.

I didn't realize how much people needed these clips. I threw out a bunch when I installed my new Stazi mesh.

i found the exact same clips at a trailer shop. Apparently they use them for some trailer wiring, not sure. But when i told the lady i needed all of them that she had she looked at me a little funny

I didn't need all of the clips that came off the stock mesh. Only certain areas of the mesh can use clips.
