Looking for a part 2011

[Ki4npz]

I am having a hard time finding a small part. I have searched several sites, including http://parts.autonationfordwhitebea...-gas-engine/body-cat/jack-and-components-scat
My car that I bought used (2011) is missing the wing nut that holds the spare tire down. Not really a big deal, I know, but missing things really bother me, no matter how insignificant. I ordered the closest thing I could find, the spare tire wing nut from a newer Taurus, but it didn't fit. (different thread size). So, do any of you out there have an idea where I can find this part, short of going to the parts counter at the dealer of course?
Thanks for your time.

That would probably be the quickest and easiest place to find one IF they even stock a part like that. How about your local hardware store?
Do you have any automobile junk yards in the area?

Oops, lists 2015-16 Explorers only and Taurus you mentioned. Wow, you're right, this isn't easy for a commonly lost part. GL
