Replaced my cargo light today. What a pain!!!

[Maverick2023]

Found out someone at the factory messed up the clips (2 of them) and the end result is 2 stuck screws that kept spinning as I tried to unscrew. Finally had to destroyed them and muscled them out and now I only have i screws with 2 fasteners to hold the light housing together. If anyone knows of the fasteners type and where to get them I would be appreciated. Pics for your enjoyment. I also took off the antenna to give the truck a cleaner look. Have no use for the radio so don’t really affect me.

This is the part you are looking for. Local dealerships might have it in stock, but might charge a bit more.

Suggest you stay with the factory clips. These nylon screw-insert clips don't take a lot of torque, it's easy to over-tighten & strip. Recommend a hand screwdriver even though the screw is long. You should be able to pull the old ones out with needle nose pliers or possibly push them out from the back.

I just changed out to some Lasfit LEDs, and the exact same thing happened…. Gotta replace the same clips….
