Does anybody know the OE part number for the 8 plastic Hood Insulation Retainers? All of mine disintegrated when I removed the insulation.
Thanks

I just restored my hood pad. I don' t recommend using those stock-type 1-3/4" retainers because the little catch mechanism they have is too loose and fragile. They tend to let the hood pad droop. Instead, substitute panel retainers that have the serrated style catches; those hold the pad much more securely. I used NAPA 665-1125, which is a package of 13 pieces for about $5. The head is smaller, but still plenty large enough to work with the hood pad. This same part number also works great on our fender liners and bumper covers.
The 1 3/4 clips from Ford are now the Christmas Tree style vs the old little catch mechanism.
