ABSTRACT:
An attachment clip for attachment of splash guards on automotive vehicles is provided for use in conjunction with a sheet-form element of a vehicle wheel well. This attachment clip comprises a metal clip having a Z-shaped configuration, formed with two outer legs cooperating with a center interconnecting bar to form a clamping element with respect to one outer leg and the interconnecting bar to securely engage with a sheet-form support element. The other outer leg has a T-shaped slot with a channel through which a fastener element passes to secure the clip to an article such as an automobile splash guard. The fastener element includes a bolt having a head and a shank and securing means. The interconnecting bar has punched from it a spring tongue which projects towards the channel of the T-shaped slot to retain the fastener element in a relatively fixed position against the one leg of the clip and to enter into a screwdriver slot in the bolt head to prevent rotation.
