2005 connect wheel arch clips!

Postby JayKay3000 » Sun Jul 09, 2017 12:50 am

Hi Folks.

I changed my front bumper and pulled the front wheel arch off, but broke a couple of the clips. I went to ebay and brought some repros, but they don't seem to fit and the arch gaps were massive so, salvaged the broken ones and put the arch back on.

Do I need a special tool or take the wheel liner out? Do I need to buy OEM ones and if so, where can I get them from?

Replacing the front bumper was simple, but these last few clips are bugging me since now the arch by the wheel is a bit loose and I'd just like to put it back how I found it. :roll:

Hi
Just had the same issue on my Connect, broke some of the clips. Went to my local Ford Dealer and asked for 20-25 pcs just to be sure I had enough. Nearly had a heart attack when he told me, they cost 7 punds each :( Ended up buying 6 pcs. They fit perfect and the arches sit nice and tight again. It's the same type clips used on the rear bumper corners.

Guess you have to buy genuine if you want stuff to fit right :(
