Where can I get fuel line retaining clips for a 2005 Ford Focus?

I damaged one of the stock clips while changing the fuel filter on my girlfriend's car. I thought "no problem" the new filter usually comes with new ones, but the replacement clips do not fit. I need these specific clips because they are shorter and skinnier than the replacement clips. I've even tried getting some smaller clips, but they do not work. Also, none of the autopart stores nearby carry clips that are remotely similar to these.

Is this a common problem with the focus? Will a ford dealer be able to accomodate me?Where can I get fuel line retaining clips for a 2005 Ford Focus?Yes, the only place to get these is at a Ford dealership and I am sure they have them in stock.Where can I get fuel line retaining clips for a 2005 Ford Focus?This is usually a dealer only item, mainly because Ford has this habit of using many many many different versions of the same part, on the same year, make, and model. I know this doesn't make sense why they do this, but Ford has informed us that it is because of recall notices and updates done throughout the year on their complete line up. This is done for their consumer's safety. But anyways, go to your dealer for this. I am sure AutoZone or Advanced Auto may carry this, but strictly because of what I mentioned about the numerous factory recalls, play it safe and go to your local Ford dealership to insure you get the right part. You may be looking at a 4-9 week wait to get your vehicle in (they are busy 110% of the time in their garage!!!!) so just keep this in mind. Ford quality? I've yet to notice.Where can I get fuel line retaining clips for a 2005 Ford Focus?you should be able to find them at the dealer of course some auto parts stores will store a variety of them in a Dorman section where they have random parts like dorhandles and springs for the throttle and so forth
