ABSTRACT:
A clip (10) mounts a corner cladding panel (14) to a body structure (16). The clip has a body (18) having a tab (20) extending in a longitudinal direction. An attachment fixture (22) extends from the body in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The clip (10) is attachable to the body structure in the orthogonal direction and positions the clip (10) to receive the corner cladding panel (14) in the longitudinal direction. The body has a pin (24) extending in the orthogonal direction that maintains an orientation of the clip (10) to receive the cladding in the direction of application. The clip (10) has a ridge (28) positioned to snappingly engage the cladding panel (14) to maintain engagement therebetween.
