Abstract: Locking pieces, such as clips, for decorative emblems and emblem assemblies, along with related methods. In some embodiments, a locking piece for coupling an emblem assembly to an airbag assembly may comprise a tapering slot narrowing in width, at least in part, from a first end of the tapering slot to a second end of the tapering slot defining a first fastener seat configured to engage a first fastener extending from a decorative emblem. The locking piece may further comprise a second fastener seat configured to resiliently engage, such as by way of a resiliently flexible prong, a second fastener extending from the decorative emblem and, in some embodiments, a third fastener seat configured to resiliently engage a third fastener extending from the decorative emblem.
