What are these called? Mine are missing.

Those little plugs or posts or retainers ….

I need two of them and need know what to look for online. Or even perhaps I’ll 3D print some if I knew what they look like.

It will be the lower right image in the pic. You should find them at a larger auto parts store.

Google something like “Ford body clips”.

Buy a bag off Amazon and you'll be set for life. Especially when your next vehicle uses a different size, and you need to buy another bag.

Technically, counting my son's and the one I need to sell, I have five, but you live in a better motorcycle area than I do up here in DFW. And yes, thanks to bikes and cars, and cheap bulk ordering through Amazon, I have accumulated quite a collection of various fasteners and spacers and such. Now I need to do the annoying task of organizing and storing them properly so I can find them when I need them, and not being lazy and ordering another bag because I don't feel like digging through boxes.

Instead of buying something I attempted to print some. Most likely they will fail but at a cost of $0.02 why not.

These tend to break when removing them. I suspect yours will last just fine for what they are doing and will last until you try to remove them someday.

 

[GixxerJasen]

What material did you print them in?

Swede --

Got a .STL you can post? Infill? Got a few turns of ABS left on the spool in the printer and hate throwing it away.

That little caliper is kool as well.

Referred to as push-pins and scrivets within Ford.

Those are little thingies that I wish I had bet the farm on, say, circa 1982-ish. They are everywhere, every car.

I've always called them "Jesus Clips" because when you try to remove one, you always pray to Jesus it doesn't break!

LOL, for me they break like 50% of the time. Hate those things.
