ABSTRACT:
A molding retention clip assembly has a molded plastic base having a planar bottom surface adapted to rest upon the painted surface of the vehicle body and a keyhole slot adapted to fit over a head stud welded to the vehicle body. The headed stud retains the base on the body but permits rotation of the base. A stamped metal spring clip has a base wall overlying the plastic base and attached thereto. First and second retaining clips are integral with the base wall and positioned in spaced apart relation on opposite sides of the keyhole slot of the plastic base. Installation of the molding into the first and second clips causes the clip assembly to rotate so that the first and second clips obtain effective grip of the molding to retain the molding on the vehicle body and the molding in turn retains the clip assembly against rotation. The spring clip is preferably attached to the plastic base by integral projections of the plastic base which extend into aligned apertures of the spring clip base wall for heat staked attachment.
