Wasn't this plastic rivet shared with other FoMoCo cars?
I am trying to get my hands on couple of these: C2C3564 - C2C3564 - BODYSIDE MOULDING SILL TO BODY PLASTIC RIVET
...so far I haven't been able to find anything but individual pieces being sold for
I would much prefer something like a family-pack for Lincoln-money or maybe Ford-money. As you probably know some of the rivets/retainers on x350s are identical with those used on Fords and Lincolns.
Would anyone know please if FoMoCo used identical part on any of their other products?

Go Ogle:
"car body trim push pin rivets plastic"
Assortments of all kinds @ hundreds of pieces per set are cheap enough ONLINE to buy several different ones, ....use what you need, and not really even have to CARE what happens to the rest.
Same as O rings, cotter-pins, washers & such. Cheaper to have them and waste most than to hit a show-stopper, down tools, have to divert and go-CHASE........even one or two in several years.
Cheap as they are - or SHOULD BE - "brick and mortar stores" can no longer afford to allocate the back-room shelf space.. nor customer-floor "hanging" display-wall space.
I ran short of four or so yesterday morning when re-installing the driver's size fender well liner & c. (WABCO compressor replacement aftermath).
Just now ordered two assortments off Amazon to replenish my old and badly diminished stash that was down to more dodgy "recycles" and MOPAR/GMC sizes not used by JLR's:
- 1390 pcs, 33 sizes, with tools.
- 635 pcs, 16 'most popular' sizes, with tools.
Added a coupla 300 ML bottles of my regular Hong Kong cough syrup, and I hit "free shipping" w/o need of 'Prime'.
Among the "other options"?

Even IF.. that were to be the proper one wanted... a package of 1,000 - all the same - @ 160 quid isn't nearly as useful as the 33-style/size 'assortment' for under 20 bucks, US nor the $5.00 per-set smaller collections.
Same again, w/r minimum order size as to conversion to what is arguably a BETTER fastener where regular maintenance wants frequent opening-up and reclosing - the 'scrivit':

Jaroslav, Assuming you have access to Amazon?
I bought one of these, as I am forever replacing clips on Jag, Subaru, and Chevy. I found numerous ones that are perfect fit both for the push-pin Ford-style and for the X-shaped screw-in used on the plastic radiator shield. In fact, they actually fit better then the rather sloppy and annoying OEM ones, and, there are enough in kit to replace all so it looks OEM.
I do believe the one you are showing were Jaguar exclusive - the Ford equivalent did not have the exact same pin head and indent. However, amazon does carry the entire Ford-sized versions under the Rexka brand at significantly lower $. Google "amazon rexka ford fender liner rivet"

....and.. my 'rad shield OEM fasteners were MORE than just "annoying", they were merely decorative, most no longer functional. Eg: Useless to the point the shield has spent the better part of ten years off the car, in storage!
