Hood prop rod broke

[13interceptor]

Can anyone advise what part the hood prop rod connects to on 2013 interceptor utility. The rod broke off where it connects on top of radiator

Are you referring to the clip that holds the rod in place when it is not in use?

No. The actual piece that the whole rod connects to

I don't see that in the exploded diagram. It must be part of another structural item.

I could not find a separate bolt-on bracket, but I did find plastic grommets, leading me to wonder whether there is no separate bracket and it just slips into a hole in the radiator support structure with the grommet in that hole.

Can you provide pictures? If all else fails, I'd pull one off a junkyard donor vehicle. Doubt it needs to be a PIU or even a '13.
