Default Interior Trim Fasteners

Does anyone know where to get dash trim fasteners, namely the ones that attach the center radio bezel on a 2009 F-150. I have looked at the Ford website and with Auveco, no luck.

I broke 1 of the 6 six I salvaged. Its the u-clip, actually more v shaped, with barbs is all the description I can give. About 3/4" long black/grey magnesium coated. The remaining 5 went onto the bezel. Luckily I only needed 5.


Negative on Fastenal. They use Auveco for supply and Auveco doesn't list one in their catalogue. I will give NAPA a shot.



None at NAPA either.

I believe you're looking for a "tinnerman" clip.

Just be careful installing or removing them. Most of the plastic lugs/tabs they are installed on are not very durable by design. (I work in plastics molding.) It's not that they are designed weak on purpose, it's to keep the show surface of the bezel or panel cosmetically acceptable.
