I want to buy 2 new screws and 2 new tabs then try that before i buy a new 3rd brake light assembly part.
 
you need to call / stop by your local ford dealer. Maybe you can find them at a generic hardware store but you will have to match them up. Ford doesn't usually publish the kind of screws / clips that they use

they're usually in the self help section in parts stores.
 
Gary. Do you have pictures of the parts you need?. I often save fasteners and clips when disassemblung things so that I have replacements when I need them. I might have what you need. But they will be used in good condition.

"I called oriellys and they said they have a assortment of clips and screws but not exact 2 clips and 2 screws for a 02 ranger fx4 off road

I took my 2 clips out and my dad looked at the clips and said the 2 screws are threading but when i put the 2 clips back in and tightnened my 2 screws the screws would not tighten all the way

I want to find 2 new screws and clips =)
 
I went to the orielly here in puyallup by riding my wolf king gtr electric scooter with no helmet at 35-40 mph for 3.5 miles away from where i live one way.

The orielly people said they didn't have those 2 new screws and 2 new clips so i will keep looking because my ranger is to nice looking to use cheap silicone so i will continue my searching for those parts that are new and have never been used.

HAPPY FRIDAY =)

I have a few of those screws, but not the plastic expanding nuts. Your screws are probably fine. You just stripped the threads out of the nuts.

Try a autobody supply store for the clips and a hardware store for the screws
