Abstract: A fastening system for a vehicle is provided. The fastening system includes a metal clip which is easily inserted and removed from a polymeric doghouse. The doghouse is integrally molded with a vehicle interior trim component. After the clip is inserted into the doghouse, the trim component may be snapped into place over a structural pillar by inserting the clip into an aperture and the pillar. The fastening system is designed such that it will not fail, and the trim component will remain in place, when an air bag adjacent to the trim component is deployed. If desired, the trim component can be easily removed from the support pillar by sliding the trim component, and the attached doghouse, away from the clip. The clip can then be removed from the pillar, a new one inserted into the doghouse, and the trim component can be reused.

Abstract translation: 提供一种用于车辆的紧固系统。 紧固系统包括容易地从聚合物狗窝插入和移除的金属夹。 狗舍与车辆内饰件整体模制。 在将夹子插入狗屋之后，通过将夹子插入孔和支柱中，修剪构件可以卡在结构柱上的适当位置。 紧固系统被设计成使得它不会失效，并且当与装饰部件相邻的气囊被展开时，装饰部件将保持就位。 如果需要，可以通过将装饰部件和附接的小狗座从夹子上滑动而容易地从支撑柱移除。 然后可以将夹子从支柱移除，插入狗屋的新的夹子，并且修剪部件可以重复使用。
