Default Hub Cap Clips

Anyone know if there are clips available to replace those in the hub caps?
I have removed all my caps because clips are rusty. I already lost one cap on the highway. New caps would cost me nearly $200 here in Canada. I'm not doing THAT!

Any chance there is a pick n pull near by? You can probably pull some for cheap from there. Or someone parting out a truck. I've never seen just the clips tho

Problem with pick n pull is they're usually in the same condition as mine-rusty! Lots of salt used in Canadian winters.

hi I had same problem..I had to buy a cheap set on ebay...take clips out, then paint them with several coats then install them on the original caps......I searched everywhere for them..seems they don't exist..Ford wants you to buy the whole cap...

I use a little silicone on mine. Just do it before you go to bed at night and it will hold em. They pull right off with a screw driver.
Not what you want but what else are you going to do
