Abstract
An assembly secures a pair of rods to a door inner panel and allows linear and lateral movement of the rods relative to the door inner panel. The door inner panel has a keyhole shaped slot including an access portion and a retaining portion. The assembly includes a one-piece flexible rubber rod clip having a rod insulation portion and a tab portion. The rod insulation portion has a pair of oblong bores for receiving the rods for spacing and insulating the rods from the door inner panel. The rod insulation portion has a pair of channels, each channel connecting one of the bores to an outer surface for installing the rods into the bores. The rod insulation portion has a base for engaging the door inner panel. The tab portion has a locking tab spaced from the base of the rod insualtion portion by a trunk. The locking tab has a pair of shoulders for engaging the door inner panel so that the locking tab inserted through the access portion of the slot locates the trunk in the retaining portion of the slot and the base and the shoulders engaging the door inner panel.
