A resilient clip is provided for retaining a projection formed on a panel into an opening in a support structure. The clip has a "V" or "U" shaped lead portion provided with locking legs for retaining the projection in the lead portion and a pair of centrally located legs having locking shoulders for retaining the clip in the opening. The free ends of the centrally located locking legs have portions removed therefrom such that they are capable of being moved one past the other, when the locking shoulders are moved toward one another during entry of the fastener into the opening.
