Bronco Bolts Not Available?

[Zeddead]

Has anyone else been told that "Bronco Bolts" are not available except on a new vehicle?

The dealer lost my cowl bolts while doing the windshield adhesive recall and is telling me they can't get exact replacements, only standard torx bolts with different size from the OEM Bolts.

they are special order ... it took me 3 months to get some.

"Well, you have other Broncos out there on the lot with bolts. So this sounds like a you problem not a me problem."

Ohh I've definitely thought of and had that conversation.
They're "not able to remove parts from new unsold vehicles" and are trying to deflect blame too... you name it: Ford for not having the part; the other Dealer branch that they transferred my vehicle too in order to have the windshield changed, because they broke too many of them where I dropped it off; and apparently th glass company that they subcontracted to remove and reinstall the glass?!?

Really!? But you did get them?

Have your dealer reassemble with the replacement parts so you can drive your Bronco. Also have them order the correct parts and replace them when they arrive.

I would just forget about the dealer and order some from the link above for $1.73 a piece

So interestingly enough, I've ordered that part number, twice, and the bolts that have delivered are not stamped as Bronco and simply have a standard torx socket head. Side by side with the mirror, they're very obviously different.

The dealer would be finding the bolts or ordering the correct ones from Ford. I wouldn’t accept anything less than stock bolts.
