Clip wtih corresponding clip housing

A combination of detachable clip attachable to a vehicle structure and a corresponding clip housing attached to a trim part attachable to the clip, the combination wherein,

• said clip comprises:
• a base having a leg member and a cross-member located in common plane;
• a male member projecting perpendicularly from one side of the base;
• a raised portion on opposed sides of the male member defining a gap distance from an upper surface of the base, wherein the male member is insertable to a portion of the vehicle structure that seats in the gap distance;
• a first end leg projecting from said base and ending in a free end;
• a second end leg projecting from said base in a same direction as the first end leg projects and ending in a free end;
• an attachment flange at the free end of each of the first end leg and the second end leg;
• and
• a corresponding clip housing comprising:
• a substantially rectangular member having a top, bottom, front, rear and side surface;
• a central recess adapted for secure engagement of at least a portion of said clip base therein;
• a first flange receipt channel on the top surface at one end of the rectangular member for receiving the flange of the first end leg;
• and
• a second flange receipt channel on the top surface at another end of the rectangular member, the second flange receipt channel for receiving the flange of the second end leg.

• a corresponding clip house comprising:
• a substantially rectangular member having a top, bottom, front, rear, and side surface;
• a central recess adapted for secure engagement of at least a portion of said clip base therein;
• a first L-shaped leg channel outside the central recess and positioned toward one end of the rectangular member, the first L-shaped channel comprising a straight leg and a cross-member on the top surface of the rectangular member, wherein the first end leg is received in the first L-shaped channel until the flange seats in the cross-member;
• and
• a second leg channel inside the central recess and positioned toward another end of the rectangular member, the second leg channel comprising a straight leg portion and a cross-member on the top surface of the rectangular member, wherein the second end leg is received in the second L-shaped channel until the flange seats in the cross-member.
