A fastening clip, comprising:
- a fastening pin, the fastening pin having a head part and a pin part, the pin part extending downward from the head part, and a distal end of the pin part forming a retaining part;
- and
- a fastening sleeve, the fastening sleeve comprising a base and two pairs of retaining wings, wherein each pair of retaining wings is arranged opposite to each other, the base defines a hole, the pin part is detachably inserted into the hole, the two pairs of retaining wings respectively extend downward from a lower surface of the base and are circumferentially distributed around the center of the hole, and an inner side of a lower part of each of the two pairs of retaining wings is inclined inward to form a clamping part configured to cooperate with the retaining part of the fastening pin,
- wherein at least one outer side of at least one of the two pairs of retaining wings have at least one raised rib extending in a circumferential direction,
- wherein the two pairs of retaining wings comprise a first pair of retaining wings and a second pair of retaining wings, and
- wherein on a first radial section a first distance between a first inner surface and a second inner surface of the clamping parts of the first pair of retaining wings of the two pairs of retaining wings is greater than a second distance between a third inner surface and a fourth inner surface of the clamping parts of the second pair of retaining wings.
