After watching a YouTube video of a guy doing his own maverick undercoat, I bought a bunch of plastic clips and fasteners off Amazon and gave them to my undercoat dude. I had to pay him for his time to remove all them (he took before and after photos) so hopefully it was worth it. He said there are a ton of nooks and crannies to get into on the Maverick, so fluid film was the way to go. Mine was the first one he’s done. Said it took him six hours, not including his time watching the same video that I watched

So you just bought the new clips? That's what others said they did too. By any chance, do you have a part number or link to those clips? If not, I'm sure I can find it. I have a couple months before I need to do fluid film. Also, any idea on the exact location of the fuel pressure sensor? Obviously I'd like to avoid any problems lol. Were you able to drive it with the CEL on or did it trigger limp mode?After watching a YouTube video of a guy doing his own maverick undercoat, I bought a bunch of plastic clips and fasteners off Amazon and gave them to my undercoat dude.

I forgot to say, I did have a fouled fuel pressure sensor, triggered the cel. Dealer covered it under warranty.
I think the the sensor is on top of the gas tank. To be clear, I do not know if the sensor failure and undercoat are related. Yes, I bought the clips myself after confirming that my guy agreed to pull off the plastic panels on the rockers, all skid plates, and wheel well liners. I’ll look for the part numbers. Pretty sure I got them on Amazon, two different varieties. Stand by.
Can’t find where I bought these other clips, but this is what they are. I might have picked them up locally.
Thank you. Those first ones are what I was looking for. Expensive. I think that was what deterred me at first but I'll put the list together for when it's time. I'll probably check locally too just to see if they get them cheaper at the parts counter. It's rare, but it happens
Are those side panel clips available from Ford. If so, I have no issue breaking every single one of them if need be to get to those pinch welds.
I bought two packs of those rocker panel clips. I watched a YouTube video about how they can be removed and reused, but not easily. My undercoater ended up destroying most of them, he used 12 I think. I’d rather have new put back in anyway. Those things are fragile.Thank you. Those first ones are what I was looking for.

I bought a couple giant cases of random clips not long ago and have been adding to the collection. It's truly amazing the amount of specific clips there are now days.
Thanks for sharing!
I bought the rectangle clips from eBay and I compared them to the OEM clips and they are not even close to being the same. The ebay clips have the four round indents that you can see in the pictures, the OEM are solid plastic. I haven't removed an OEM clip, yet, but to compare with the eBay clips the plastic looks thinner than original/OEM.Thank you. Those first ones are what I was looking for. Expensive.

The hybrid battery is under the truck on passenger side back seat. The standard 12v battery is under the back seat.
Is there anything protecting the Hybrid battery on the underbody from the elements? You'd think they would want to use a metal skid plate for something like that or just make it accessible from the cab same as the standard 12v.
Thank you.
