Abstract: A retainer (30) adapted for disposition within a vehicle roof ditch (10) between a first sidewall and a second sidewall to hold an elongate molding strip (22) in covering relation to the vehicle roof ditch. The retainer includes at least one body portion adapted for disposition within the roof ditch in operative connection to a base (20) portion of the roof ditch. The body portion has a length dimension adapted for orientation along a length segment of the roof ditch between a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The body portion includes an arrangement of molding attachment elements adapted to engage an underside of the elongate molding strip. The body portion further includes at least one spring biasing leg (52) disposed at an elevation below the molding attachment elements, the spring biasing leg extends an operative length away from one side of the body portion for contacting, flexing relation with the first sidewall. The spring biasing leg continuously urges the body portion away from the first sidewall and towards the second sidewall.

Abstract: A press-in fastener adapted to join a first component to a second component. The fastener includes a proximal head and a distal base clip portion below the head. The base clip portion includes an axially displaceable post structure and a pair of opposing wings extending in upwardly angled relation away from the travel path defined by the post structure. Collapsible legs engage the wings in operative connection to the post structure. As the fastener is pressed inwardly, upon encountering resistance from the second component, the legs collapse in folded relation as the post structure travels axially between the wings.

Abstract: A fastener adapted to join a first component to a second component. The fastener includes a first connecting end (12) adapted to engage a slot opening (46) in the first component, and a second connecting end (14) adapted for press-fit insertion into an opening (64) in the second component. The first connecting end includes a raised edge collar (36) defining a concave surface facing away from the second connecting end and an opposing platform surface (40) disposed above the raised edge collar in spaced relation to the raised edge collar with a post member (42) extending between the raised edge collar and the opposing platform surface. The first connecting end is adapted to hold the first component in sandwiched relation between the raised edge collar and the opposing platform surface. The raised edge collar includes a segmented perimeter wall (38) including a plurality of cut-outs (54) defining substantially independently flexible segments between the cut-outs.

Abstract: A connection assembly adapted to join a surface element (12) to an underlying support structure (14) while maintaining a substantially zero gap abutting relation between the surface element and the support structure. The connection assembly includes a press-in retainer (10) with a circumferential seal (50) having a sealing foot (54). The sealing foot flexes about a living hinge (56) while maintaining continuous sliding contact with the support panel without interfering with downward movement of the retainer.

Abstract: A fastener assembly configured to secure a first panel with respect to a second panel includes a base having lateral wings connected to a central post. The lateral wings and the central post converge at a distal tip. Each of the lateral wings includes a first outer surface and a second outer surface, wherein the first outer surface is inwardly angled toward the distal tip. The fastener assembly also includes angled retaining ledges located between the first outer surface and the second outer surface. The angled retaining ledges are canted in a non-parallel fashion with respect to a plane of at least one of the first and second panels. The angled retaining ledges allow for safe and easy removal of the base from at least one of the first and second panels.
