ABSTRACT:
A panel assembly includes a resiliently deflectable panel and a plurality of retainer clips. The panel includes a relatively thick rectangular base section and a relatively thin rectangular lip section which extends outwardly from the periphery of the base section. The retainer clips are connected with the base section and cooperate with the lip section of the panel to engage a support structure to hold the panel in place. To mount the panel in the support structure, the panel is resiliently flexed. The panel is then released and its natural resilience causes a retainer clip to engage the support structure to hold the panel against movement relative to the support structure. A disengagement tool may advantageously be inserted between the panel and the support structure to apply force against the retainer clip and to resiliently flex the panel to disengage the retainer clip from the support structure.
