Abstract: A retention clip (100) is configured to securely connect a first component to a second component. The retention clip (100) includes a first frame (104) connected to an opposed second frame (104) by a central beam (102). An interior (105) of the clip (100) is defined between the first and second frames (104). Each of the first and second frames (104) includes lateral legs (106) that fold inwardly at upper bends (108), thereby forming flanges (110) that are disposed within the interior (105). The flanges (110) on respective sides of the clip (100) are integrally connected by a bridging member (112), and the flanges (110) further include distal ends (114) that extend below a bottom edge (116) of the bridging member (112). The clip (100) further includes a flexible wing (120) for securing the clip (100) within the interior of a panel opening. Some embodiments of a retention clip include protrusions (118) that extend inwardly from the bridging members (112).
