I own a 2023 Bronco Wildtrak with Sasquatch package on 35” wheels.

I’m looking for exact replacement OEM retainer clips for trim panels in the wheel well. In installing mud flaps had a couple of the black retainer clips ith Phillips head screws break.

If any one knows where the OEM retainer clips can be purchased, please post link for website selling them.

Thanks in advance

You should take a look on line. I broke a few on the liner in rear drivers wheel well. I found a kit on Amazon with about 20 different types and sizes. Worked perfectly.

Yeah, those Philips head clips are the ‘non-reusable versions. I’ve picked ‘up replacements at the dealership.

Ford has reusable clips that have center caps with locking studs that lift up allowing the clip to easily come out. Examples of these reusable clips are under the hood along the trim over the radiator. As I break those Philips head clips I’lll replace ‘em with the reusable versions, they’re much easier to work with..

I didn’t order OEM, I ordered a generic fastener kit from Amazon.

I don't think you have to be an OEM purist on this matter. This is what I got, covers every attachment situation I've encountered so far. I'm also comfortable drilling something a little wider, since I know I'll have something that will fit.
Image, plus the url for the cheapest of these sets (some Amazon venders go up to $35!).

Actually, I'm not certain that's accurate. The Phillips head plastic retainers can easily be reused and remain effective. Using a large Phillips head screwdriver you can easily "unscrew" the center post and once done the fastener will come right out. When your task is completed, simply push the fastener (without the Phillips center post) back into its original hole. Then reinsert the center post (just push it in). I've done this dozens of times with no ill effects. Of course, you can purchase substitutes if you wish.

This is cool. Thank you for looking into this. A few years back I went to a local dealership in an attempt to buy some of these (for my Mustang) but they were still pretty new and the parts department had no clue how to get them. They weren't even in their system at that point. I ended up using some generic fasteners then but only because at the time I hadn't realized they could be reused (and I had butchered a couple, not knowing how they could be properly removed and reused).

Same principle as a (dry) wall anchor. Nothing exotic, nor do you need the OEMs for these.
But I confess a liking for the Martha Stewart line.
