ABSTRACT:
An automotive steering column cover has upper and lower cover members both made of a plastic material. The cover members define therein downwardly and upwardly directed recesses, respectively, and are adapted to abut each other along the edges of the recesses to form a hollow assembly which surrounds an associated steering shaft. At least the lower cover member has an integral clip extending therefrom to the steering shaft. The clip has a generally C-shaped free end defining an opening of a dimension slightly less than the diameter of the steering shaft whereby the C-shaped end of the clip can be snapped onto the steering shaft by the resiliency of the plastic material to mechanically connect the cover member to the steering shaft. The lower cover member therefore can be easily mounted on the steering shaft.
