Default Wire harness retainer

After repairing my wiper harness (see my post under "Wipers Quit") I need to reattach the harness to the rad fan shroud. The dealer couldn't find a part number for these and thinks they only come with the harness complete. I need 4 of them.



Anybody have any idea if they are available separately and if so, a part number please? The "furry" part is not round like a door trim retainer, it is oval/rectangular and includes a cable tie.

Thanks.

Any "fir tree cable tie" will work, auto parts stores may carry them in stock or will need to order. Can also order them online. To my knowledge they are part of the harness when ordered.

Thanks, lucky you in the living in the US, Carquest (part of Advance Auto Parts now) and NAPA both cannot provide stock up here in the great white north.

I see a company called Hellermann Tyton sells them, I'm looking to see if someone will send me a few.

Try amazon.ca I needed some of the push pin clips for my wheel well liner and I got a package with probably 100-150 of different variety clips including exactly what you are looking for.

This is probably the part you are looking for. Only problem is that most suppliers have a 500 or more minimum order.

Yup, that is exactly what I need. Searching for someone who will sell me 5 or 10, don't need 500!

This isn't the exact replacement, but it might work, and you can buy a bag of 25 from McMaster-Carr

Might work, unfortunately Ford used an oval hole that is about 1/4 x 1/2 so a regular round 1/4" "fir tree" probably won't stay put.
