Abstract

See full text

A clip is disclosed for securing a molding to a flange of a vehicle. The clip has a first side wall and a second side wall each comprising an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface. The interior surfaces face one another and the exterior surfaces are shaped to engage the molding. Each of the side walls terminate at a distal edge providing a passage for the flange. A base connects the side walls at an end that is opposite the distal edges. A tab extends from the base and is disposed between the side walls. The tab and the interior surface of the second side wall define a pocket sized to fit the flange of the vehicle. The interior surface of the second side wall comprises a bump that extends towards and faces the tab. The tab and the bump are configured to engage the flange.
