I found a supplier for the 1 3/4" head nylon retainers that hold the insulation on the underside of our hoods. This is good for me, because they seem to break off at irregular but constant intervals.
The stealership wants $1.70 each for them
This place sold me 2 boxes of 25, first class mailed to me for $26.10.

They have about any clip or retainer you can imagine, including the little dodads that hold the door panels onto the doors (you just can't reuse them and expect the panel to stay - I've tried). They also have screws and all sorts of other stuff. I ordered yesterday online and got the package today. Helps that they are only 20 miles away from me.
There is also a feature that can find your part if you know the Ford part number, very helpful.

Not that I am complaining I've been looking for a good source for lots of those items.
