The fastener comprises a base section (12) and a pair of leg sections (14, 16) extending therefrom. The leg sections each comprise a first portion (22, 24) extending upwardly and inwardly from the base section and a second portion (34, 36) extending downwardly and inwardly from the first portion to a free edge (38, 40). A tab (46, 48) is sheared from the second leg portions and extends generally inwardly therefrom. The free edges are separated by a distance (42) generally equal to the thickness (44) of the panel while the innermost edges of the tabs are separated by a distance (50) less than the thickness of the panel.
