ABSTRACT:
A molding clip for the attachment of a molding is particularly suited for use at the bottom or lower edge of the windshield or rear window where a filler panel has a generally planar surface which is cantilevered toward the window panel and a lateral flange which extends parallel to the window panel. The molding clip has a body portion interposed between the window panel and the body panel flange. The clip is attached to the body panel by a spring arm holding the flange against the body portion and a pair of laterally spaced flex arms urging the body panel surface into engagement with an abutment projecting from the body portion and overlying the body panel surface. A spacer element is integral with each of the flex arms and spaces the body portion from both the window panel and the flange so that the body portion and abutment of the clip may move vertically away from the body panel surface upon resilient yielding of the flex arms. A hook is integral with the abutment and projects downwardly toward the panel surface for mating interengagement with a hook of the molding. The flex arms yield upon forced mating engagement of the molding hook with the abutment hook and resiliently urge the hook downwardly to maintain the mating interengagement with the reveal molding hook.
