Dorman 700-043 Splash Shield Retainer
Dorman 700-043 is a metric, black steel splash shield retainer built for body hardware applications where a secure, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. This Torx-drive, self-tapping SEMS screw uses a pan head design with an attached washer for a clean, stable fastening point on splash shields and related panels.
Compatible With Ford F-150, Ford Transit Connect, Ford Escape, Lincoln MKC, Ford C-Max, and Ford Focus applications that call for an M5-2.2 x 18.5 mm retainer. The Dorman 700-043 is a direct-fit style replacement for common splash shield and underbody fastening needs.

Detailed Description
This splash shield retainer is designed around the listed dimensions and fastening style rather than a universal fit. The coarse, self-tapping thread helps it engage properly in body hardware locations where the original retainer has worn, stripped, or corroded. Its black steel construction and black zinc plating support everyday underbody use, while the SEMS head style helps distribute load at the mounting point.
Use Dorman 700-043 when servicing splash shields, lower body panels, and similar fastening points on 2012-2020 Ford Focus, 2013-2018 Ford C-Max, 2013-2020 Ford Escape, 2014-2020 Ford Transit Connect, 2015-2020 Ford F-150, and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 22348, W702413S307) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Loose or missing splash shield fasteners
- Rattling or vibrating lower body panels
- Stripped mounting points on plastic or sheet-metal retainers
- Corroded or damaged original hardware
- Poor panel retention after underbody service
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify thread size, head style, and mounting location before installation. Match the Torx drive and M5-2.2 callout to the original fastener specification, and confirm the position listed for your vehicle, such as upper, lower, or lower front. For best results, inspect the mounting hole and surrounding panel for damage before installing the retainer.
