Bolt/Screw cover missing from rear tire well?

[AGLzaca]

Fitting the OEM splash guards and I've got this exposed bolt/screw in both the rear tire wells.

Anyone else seen this, or have a cover on them?

Car is a 2022 Big Bend.

Yup. But no thread locker on my Badlands

Looks like a “push-on” fastener holding the fender liner in. The blue part is plastic, I’m guessing. I don’t think anything is missing.

I would agree. Although the blue in his picture looks to be thread locker. It’s not on mine.

Hello! Damn shame about the locker. Could you please send us a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'll check into these concerns on my end. Rest assured I will make this my life's mission until my last dying breath. Thanks! ?

I guess it could be thread locker (loc-tite) but it wouldn’t be to hold that push-on fastener in place. Unless they are just trying to fill in the threads with it.

Assuming that’s a weld stud, not sure why there would be loc-tite on there. Not for the push nut. Maybe there is a blue film on the nut carrier?

good thing we have some real important problems to ponder over this week!

Oh yes I get it. He, she, it is very selective in asking for info on very specific problems and clearly avoids other problems.
