ABSTRACT:
A resilient fastener or adapter and method is provided for attaching a flanged molding member, or the like, to a panel to substantially cover a gap between the panel and a spaced structural member. The fastener or adapter is flexurally insertable in the space between the panel surface and the structured member and is retained therebetween in the flexed state. A resilient tab extends adjacent a surface of the panel to receive a flange of the molding in interference engagement therewith and retain the molding in place. The fastener or adapter is advantageously employed in the manufacture of an automobile to retain a decorative molding in the space formed between a windshield or backlight and the body panel to which the windshield or backlight is assembled.
