• Damaged liftgate object sensor retainer locations
• Rattling or misaligned trim caused by failed nylon retainers

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the retainer head diameter, shaft diameter, and overall length against the original fastener before installation. Confirm the exact vehicle position and trim configuration, especially on Ford Mustang, Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln MKZ, and Lincoln Zephyr applications with notes such as halogen headlights, quad headlamps, or specific build-date restrictions. Remove the damaged retainer carefully to avoid enlarging the mounting hole, then install the replacement until fully seated.
