Anyone know the part number for these 7mm decklid bolts? They seem to be rattling out

I can think of three options:

- Take one out and match it, either on-line or at a hardware store

- Take one to the local dealer, give them your VIN and have them pull a diagram. The diagrams they can see often have a great amount of detail. Most fasteners are individual purchase items, bought in a bag of like four per

- Check in with @LevittownFordParts and see if they could assist

Going back to the problem you have now, if the bolts are not worn or stripped, I'm wondering about using some threadlocker compound? Attached is a quote from a previous thread:

"To try and right this ship and get back to the question asked about threadlocker, the pink is low strength, blue is medium strength, and red is high strength. Each color has a few different variations for primered, primerless, high temp, etc. There is also a green wicking grade that can be used after the bolt is torqued. And lastly, there is a green retaining compound that you definitely don't want to use. It is used on loose fits or very worn spline couplings."

The issue can also be the nuts in the panel.

To add to the thread locker portion of above.
The new ish orange loctite has the retention of red with the release of the blue. It's pretty much my new go to.
