ABSTRACT:
A unique clip for holding moldings or other items to a base surface includes bearing surfaces which are spaced laterally inwardly from outermost edges of an underlying substrate. Due to the inward position of the bearing surfaces, a force transferred to the bearing surfaces will be a plucking force rather than a peeling force as may have occurred with the prior art. In other features of this invention, the clip is formed with non-planar support structure for unusually wide applications. Further, in a method of utilizing the inventive clip, a single backing cover is placed over the adhesive strips of several spaced clips. Thus, an assembler need only remove one cover, and then place the molding on the body of a vehicle.
