ABSTRACT:
In a fastener for securing a weather strip to an automotive body panel provided with a cap portion for retaining the weather strip, a stem portion extending from the cap portion and adapted to be fitted into a through hole provided in the body panel, a radial flange provided in the stem portion adjacent the cap portion for abutting the outer surface of the body panel, and a plurality of engagement claws projecting radially from the stem portion for securing the stem portion in the through hole of the body panel, to reduce the force required for securing the fastener and facilitate the use of the fastener without compromising the fastening capability of the fastener, the stem portion has a substantially hollow cross section, and is provided with four axial slits at 90 degree interval. Thus, the separated parts of the stem portion are given with a sufficient yieldability without being affected by the rigidity of the radial flange, and the work of mounting the fastener is facilitated.
