ABSTRACT:
A panel mounting assembly includes an elongated holder defining a track with a floor having inwardly projecting opposed facing flanges spaced above said floor for captively receiving legs of an inverted generally V-shaped clip. The track flanges include a plurality of opposed aligned slots for receiving flanges at the ends of the clip legs, thereby locking the clip in place along the track. The holder comprises a thermoplastic polymeric material having a plurality of projections which are melted to fuse the holder to the surface of the panel facing the underlying support structure. In another embodiment of the invention, a resilient polymeric mounting clip for a vehicle panel is made of a thermoplastic material having support panel engaging means extending therefrom in a first direction and a plurality of projections extending therefrom in an opposite direction for fusibly bonding the projections to a decorative panel.
