schardein Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Maybe this has been covered before, but I was searching for parts at the JY and came across these clips by accident. They look very similar to the Renix relay cover clips, but were off a 1986 Ford F250 (the time era is the same). I believe they were retaining the lower dash bezel in place, but it was already disassembled when I found them. The lower tab is shorter overall, but the important measurement to the retainer lip looks the same. Unfortunately I don't have a Renix Jeep to test them on. Jeep part on the left, Ford on the right.

eaglescout526 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Hmmm, I don’t recall when they were brought up if anyone tried them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 well, they most definitely fit and lock, but not especially tightly. not sure if it's indicative of them all or just my one sample piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks for the test fit. I thought the sample was in good shape, at least as good as used original Jeep clips. Considering the Ford one lived its live inside the cab, versus the Jeep one living under the hood, it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I imagine a thin washer cut from felt would make them perfect. I'd never turn down one I found in a yard, but I also would rather keep hunting for a used Jeep one than pay out the nose for a new Ford one.
