ABSTRACT:
A fairing panel retainer can include a retainer strip that is configured to conform to the contour of a vehicle body. The retainer strip includes alternating body attachment segments and raised panel attachment segments in a generally corrugated configuration. In addition, each of the body attachment segments includes a body fastener interface configured to accept a permanent fixed fastener to attach the fairing panel retainer to the vehicle body. Each of the panel attachment segments can include a panel fastener interface, for example, a bore through the panel attachment segment and a fastener plate slidably attached to a lower surface of the panel attachment segment. The body fastener interfaces and the panel fastener interfaces can be closely aligned along a longitudinal line or arc of the retainer strip. The fairing panel retainer can also include a transition surface to provide a smooth transition from the vehicle body surface to a fairing panel.
