Hood prop grommet?

FVP · 2022-08-10

Does anyone happen to know the correct part number for the hood prop grommet for a 2008? The rattling is driving me crazy and I can't seem to find the right one for it. Thanks!

Thanks Paul! I sure appreciate your help. I actually found that part number but everywhere I look says that part number is for 2000 to 2007. I did find one place (FordPartsGiant.com) that said that number fits the 2008 but it was the only place that I could find. Everywhere else said that number fits 2000 to 2007.

I see that. Both my 2002 and 2007 used that grommet but Ive not looked at a 2008 or newer. Tasca shows a plastic clip W700534-S300. Is there anything left of the existing retainer?

The retainer clip is still there and works but the grommet is long gone. They're not very expensive so I guess I'm going to buy the part number you told me. If it doesn't fit and I can't make it work at least they're cheap! LOL - Thanks for your reply, much appreciated!

If the prop rod setup on your 2008 is similar to my 2005 (pics above, click for larger) - which I think it is - then the W700510-S300 grommet for the pivot end is what you need. BTW I needed to buy one for my 2002 a few years ago and I think Ford makes you buy a pack (bag) of 2 but they are pretty inexpensive. You local dealer may have them in stock.

Good luck!

My 2006 was missing this when we bought it a couple years ago. It did come in a 2 pack. I had a bit of trouble getting it to pop in.

HELP parts in the parts stores has a grommet of some sort which also works fine and dead cheap. I cut through the part side to worm it in place but it stays put once installed and been there for years.

If anyone is still looking for a grommet, when I ordered mine I didn't realize I was getting a 4 pack so I have 3 extras. PM me if you need one, they're genuine Ford OEM ones.

A tip for installing it is to soak it in warm water to soften it up a bit and use a little dish soap to help it slide in.
