Title: Pollen filter cover clips
Post by DavidBE on Apr 6^th, 2021, 9:32pm

Does anyone know of someone or somewhere that might have some of the clips that fasten down the pollen filter cover?

In another example of how brain fogged and dimwitted my meds make me, I decided to check the Cossie Estates's pollen filters, despite having forgotten they existed and never even looking for them in the 13 years I had the 2.3 saloon. Read the page on this site, went out, found them, and noticed that one of the four clips was missing. But without looking properly, I just vaguely assumed the clips were actually attached to the chamber and hinged at the bottom. Lost one at some point while I was getting the cover off then back on, and then lost the other two when I was trying to clip them back up but wasn't covering the possibility of them jumping off and away as I thought they were attached. So the three that were there at the beginning have disappeared down the little gap in front of that section to somewhere I can neither see nor reach them.

I see that to Ford they are called 'Clip - Special', they are part number 6187267, and were also used in some generations of Transits and Escorts. However the only trace I can find of them being for sale anywhere is an old eBay listing for a packet of them sold several years ago.
