I need an "OBSOLETE" part for a 1995 Aerostar.

Yep, Ford told me some parts I'm looking for are obsolete. Specifically I'm looking for the spring clip that pops open the fuel tank door. The guys at the gas station have to stick something behind the door to pop it open. They find it annoying. Anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Which part of NY do you live in? A lot of parts are obsolete, but you could check WWW.GreenSalesCompany.Com, WWW.FastPartsNetwork.Com or WWW.RockAuto.Com if you know what the part number is. You could post your request for this part in this link: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php?t=232304

I would look on directfordparts.com

They tend to have alot of parts for ford that ford calls obsolete.

Did you have any luck finding this part?

"Joe Dirt" responded to me and believes he can grab the clip from a local junk yard. Thanks for asking!

Thanks for the update! I bought some stuff from Joe in the past. Maybe you could remind him that I also need some stuff if he's going to the junk yard?

I have a lot of them Mike- I still need to get the plastic fuel filter cover, the seatbelt latch, and the airbox cover... I picked up everything else on Sunday, have to send a pic...

I do seem to have snapped up the business of most of the Mike's in New York... Ha ha!

Toypaseo managed to get me the air box cover, door contacts, door lift plastic buttons, and the seat belt latch. Send me a list of the parts that you have so far. I know that you collected some parts a while ago.

Mikey842, don't forget to post feedback in Joe's feedback thread when you get the parts. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202462
