Extras found by Detailer

[frankk]

I had my Bronco detailed and received a bag of "found" items. Couldn't explain these

Anyone recognize these?

The one with the blue thread locker is potentially concerning . . . wonder where that came from.

They gave you extras due to the long wait with production

Those help prevent side-fumbling in the encabulator.

The black plastic piece resembles the retainer that goes on the rear tow hooks (between the two bolts - helps keep the tow hook in place while fastening the bolts). Probably used multiple places on the Bronco for different purposes though.

No jokes from me. That many looks concerning.

First question, have you done any modifications? If so, what? Were they DIY or a shop?

The one with blue Lok Tight, is concerning. You‘ want to get under the rig. Sort of looks like one with aftermarket fogs that I used for my Harness install.

I see a locking bolt in the second pic with Torx + (I think based on the middle), then the other looks like the battery clamp bolt for the negative terminal, but those are found in a few other places.

One is a black plastic push pin for like the wheel well cover or firewall under the hood if you’ve used a panel tool to take off to run wires.

The long bolt could be from anywhere since I can’t see the top, so thinking steps or something. Looks stainless steel, so rock rails aren’t likely, but I could be wrong about that.

You need to get under and inspect. Also, if you’ve gone off-road, good to crawl under everytime in the days after you return to see what’s shaken loose so you can retighten.

Those are my guesses and places I’d start checking.

the black one looks like the pin on the bottom of the hinge that holds
the dash piece under the steering wheel. it would be located to the right of the parking brake lever. start at the top right corner of the panel to pop it out.

mine popped out when i was installing the master on/off switch for my RSE rock sliders.

Operators go to the bronco with a faster in their hand or on the tool. They drop or bump the fastener which falls. The operators don’t have time to do a long search for dropped fasteners. They should notify a repairman/zip/supervisor etc that unit has a rattle concern. Doesn’t always happen.

The bolt with the blue thread locker looks like it was never installed, so probably just an extra dropped during assembly. The encapsulated thread locker will break open during assembly, allowing the thread locker to do its job. If it does not look like it was ever threaded into a nut I would not worry about it.

Long bolt looks like restraint system impact sensor retainer. Torx head bolt with thread lock secures the seat backs to the bases at the recline position, and the black push pin retains carpet/mats in various places to the floorboard or under the console.

Thanks for the thorough reply. At the time these were found, I hadn't done any mechanical upgrades, just PPF and ceramic coat.

These were found inside the vehicle, so I assumed they were all interior bits. Sounds like my next step is to take a look under the hood/vehicle.

Start looking for holes where the detailer was working.

If all of those are interior, that’s a terrible development, as it means things weren’t tightened. If those really are extras, why weren’t they cleaned or cleared out, plus, that’s a lot and I’d hope not normal.

As someone else said, dealership techs should know where those go and can check things out for you.
