Hello All,
I noticed when poking around that I am missing a few of those inspection cover twist clips. I went to my dealer and of course they are having trouble finding a part number for them. The ones along the fender (Green Arrow) are a one piece (which I have a number for) but the ones nearest the frunk opening (Red Arrows

) are a bit bigger in diameter and are a "two-piece" twist clip.
My dealer is saying that the bigger inner clips come with the entire panel... so I need to order the whole assembly. Can someone who is good at looking up parts confirm this? I was hoping that there is a separate part number for the inner clips. I can't find anything-
I appreciate the help! These clips are very underwhelming-

Thanks

The reason why ask the question again is because there is still no real part number for the bigger twist clips. I took the picture into my dealer and they can't figure out the half part numbers from the exploded picture.
Was hoping someone could chime in with an actual part number?
Sorry for the repost-

To me, it looks like the smaller outer twist clips are available, but the exploded part view is showing that the clips are part of the entire cover.
This is real nice... a very fragile attachment system with the easily broken part not available unless ordering the whole cover. I believe $135.00
Great.
Will also look for an alternative.

Anyone find a resolution here? One of the large twist clips popped off and went down into the cavity of the pickup. Gone forever! My OCD wants to replace it...

Like you, I lost one yesterday, and caught one as it came apart. Digging on board found ford part number for FordParts.com. $11.00 for 4 clips doesn't seem horrible to me.

Smaller ones are available in a pack of 4 I believe... the bigger clips are part of the entire panel.

Did this change?

I feel your pain,went to remove side panels to remove frunk speaker and one of the large clips came apart and went into the bowels of truck. $98000.00 truck and this is what you get! Will be attending dealer after Xmas,will see if those large clips are available now.

I'm missing one - it was missing from the factory. I asked the foreman at the shop that repaired my truck after a recent fender-bender if he could get them, and he shook his head and said most unusually sized Ford trim and body fasteners are supplied with the associated panel and aren't available separately. He said he can get substitute parts for a lot of them but the Lightning is too new and he's tried and failed to find them before.

There are some weird angles in here. It looks like they are designed not to come out of the trim piece, so I had to take the measurements with it in the trim. I'm hoping that one of yall that's missing a clip also has a printer and can test this. It's also not an easy print, but it's doable with a well calibrated machine.

It works. Looks like I can't post the video here, but I can twist it in and it holds. I had to make it a bit longer, so if you've already downloaded the files, you'll need to grab them again. They are also available for purchase from my website https://www.mattsprintables.com/.
