Gen II Tonneau - Emergency Release Cable Retainer Tab

[A K]

I can't seem to find a part number for this. On the Gen II tonneau, the emergency strap/handle is help up against the cover by a small plastic pin that has "arms" on the bottom side. One of the arms broke off, so the strap hangs down. Does anyone have an idea where I can find a replacement pin? Thanks all.

If you have to have the Ford part, maybe the parts counter at local dealership can help. If you just want to get the cable out of the way, go to Radio Shack or a hardware store and get a self-adhesive cable tie (they come in a pack of 6 or so). Stick one on your cover and you've got a functional fix. It's removable if you locate the Ford part.

These things are notorious for breaking

Thanks Vic. I've gone through about every engine wire harness and loom clip I can find, and none match. I'll have to temporarily hold it with a sticky retainer until I can find a suitable replacement.
