I'm looking to do a color change but I don't want to paint them.

Give ‘em a turn and let us know how it goes.

I've seen videos where people have removed them when installing new sound systems, you might be able to take them to a hardware store and then just find a close match to see if it fits

I'm surprised Ford hasn't already eliminated them as a cost save.

I was searching to see if they have some sort of "kit" but couldn't find it. I was hoping someone here had a solution for a replacement.

When I am wearing shorts those little buggers dig into my left knee. I wish they had a more flush screw there. When I got out after a drive, the imprint was in my knee

If you have a Fastenal store near you go in the store with your screw what ever it is and they will probably have some options for you. I restored a 30 year old car and they were a life saver for. They have a on line catalog but I am old school and I like t o see what I am buying. Good luck

Ford response, "You are sitting wrong, the bolts are perfect and Ford tough".

Somebodies got the "I wanna paint everything in my maverick orange" bug! Am I right?!

That is a cost savings implement. It's a crude way of fastening hardware and it's being passed off as a design feature. Normal production methods with hidden fasteners are far more expensive considering how much time and additional steps it adds to the production process with hidden fasteners not to mention having molds created for plastic covers, etc. That being said I like it and it's part of what makes the Maverick "cheap" to purchase.

Not really, I wanna do a color change but definitely not orange!

I realize this is a very old thread but I was looking to do the same. These Hex, Cap Screws with FORD embossed can be removed with a 3MM hex wrench. I've measured with calipers. As far as I can tell Ford does not have a P/N for these and even a Google Lens search does not find them.

It seems these are "Flat head socket cap screws"
