Hey guys. First, I have a 2010 GT. I'm currently having a problem with water coming into the interior of my car. After doing some research, I found the problem to be that the cowl drains were completely clogged. I removed the debris and I can't believe how much water drained out. Hopefully that solves the issue. Anyway, I removed the cowl to remove any excess debris and in the process lost one of the retainers that holds it down. I can't find it for the life of me. I'd much rather order it myself instead of going to a dealer but I'm having issues trying to figure out which exact part it is. Maybe someone here could help me. I'll provide a picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the link to the ford site but I'm having trouble figuring out which exact item number it is on that image.

Here is the image. I still have the screw but am missing the circle part that secures the cowl.

It's probably the whole assembly(screw/washer).

 

Just go into your ford dealer parts department, they have the exploded views of all the parts, just get it and be done with it, it's not like we're talking abut a $300 part.

 

You can pick some of those bad boys up at autozone as well. The have a fastener display with a variety of those guys. I had to pick some up as well.

 

x2 on the Autozone idea. they have packs of like 4 or 5 for around 5 bucks

 

Where was the water getting in?

 

should be under warranty take it to the dealer

 

I'm not sure of the exact entry point. Just make sure you keep the rubber drains under the cowl clear of debris or you may run into the same issue.

 

Thanks. I'll definitely look there before going to ford.

 

Thanks for the info! (not sure where/what drains you're talking about but I'll check it out this weekend when I remove the cover to replace the cabin filter).
