Getting ready to swap the standard splitter for an R, subscribed.

Mine was missing hardware and I found virtually exact duplicates at Lowe’s. They have a section in the hardware isle that is specifically automotive fasteners. I didn’t want to wait for my dealer to get the replacement hardware (which they did without issue, an entire set for an install). Had the car over a year now with about 7600 miles and zero splitter issues with the Lowe’s hardware.For cases of missing screws, are you guys getting them from the dealer or is there a suitable/size replacement available somewhere else?
This X 1,000. Before @GTthree50 posted his reply to me, I had already ordered the screws from Ford. In an odd twist of fate, the ones that came in were wrong. Right thread size and length, but the washer on the Ford screw was too small. So off to Lowe’s I go. Exact match!! Thanks dude. As a heads up, my local Home Depot did not have these nor anything close.Mine was missing hardware and I found virtually exact duplicates at Lowe’s.

Thank you sir. Adding to my purchase list.Likely you are missing the half round clips inside the fascia.
Is this a picture after been installed correctly? I installed mice yesterday, and mine looks exactly like this.Thanks again Steve. Got the j clips in today, the ones they ordered were wrong and the part number you gave me was right. They were different than the ones installed on the car from factory. They were metal with a crimped thread on the back side, created so that the screw has less of a chance to vibrate loose. Torqued all down to spec after getting a low NM torque wrench. I was suprised that 1.8 nm was that tight. I tighten by feel at first but it took a couple more turns to get the screw to spec on the 1.8 NM, and a few more turns on the 8 nm. So, I'm glad I got it.
