Missing screw for fusebox cover

Topic starter

My household's 2004 Mazda B2300 is missing a screw or whatever that's related to the fuse box cover kick panel.  I tried using a screw of the kind seen in this eBay listing, but it didn't work out.  Um, is a screw actually supposed to go in the hole?  For the record, the Mazda B2300 in question has an automatic transmission.  Last I checked, it had either 90,199 miles or 90,999 miles on the odometer.  I do admit that the fuse box kick cover kick panel is currently off, but I have a feeling that neither this panel nor this other panel is quite the right one for my household's B2300.  Yes, the 2004 Mazda B2300 is essentially a Ford Ranger.  To see relevant photos I took, check out this link:

That's not a screw hole. There are no threads, and that metal is pristine and unmarred. Probably just a plastic trim clip. You can see the scratches from where somebody tried to pry it up. The dealer will sell you one or there's loads of them online.


@imperator Well, MountainManJoe, can you post a link to a reputable page listing such clips for sale?


To me they're just disposable clips worth a few bucks. I wasn't really bothered if they were reputable or not. Anyway I don't know what Mazda clips look like since I've never owned one, but there are assortment kits available.

Just go to a scrapyard and find what you need there. They made millions of Rangers/Mazda B-Series trucks. The Mazda was just a badge-engineered Ford.
