Default What is this nut called?

I've been on Fords site for hours looking for this nut. It holds the cover under the grille inside the wheel well. It looks like the blue one above it.

I am not able to find a replacement so I feel your pain OP. When I removed that trim piece to remove my grill one of those fell off on the driver side. Luckily, I found it down on the ground close to the tire. They are tiny and I don't remember if it had a part number on the back side. Good luck.

You won’t find that clip listed for the bumper bracket. They come on the new bracket. They are call nut serts or cage nuts

Dealerships won't stock it then? Thats disappointing to say the least.

I backed the truck up and searched everywhere for that nut sert / cage nut and could not find it.

Thank you for the help!

Find a local body shop, they will likely have something that will work. They are used to stuff like that going missing or getting damaged.
