Two-piece fastener assembly

A two-piece fastener assembly designed to join a panel having a doghouse to a support having an aperture therein, the two-piece fastener assembly comprising:

• a doghouse fastener piece having a doghouse head designed to couple the doghouse fastener to the doghouse and a doghouse shaft extending from the doghouse head, and the doghouse fastener piece having a receiver including an annular wall axially extending from a base having a plate shape, the base of the receiver being supported by the doghouse shaft, and the receiver having a plurality of plate retention surfaces supported by and positioned inwardly of the annular wall and facing toward the base;
• an aperture fastener piece having an intermediate head and an aperture shaft extending from a side of the intermediate head, and a plurality of aperture retention arms extending outwardly away from the aperture shaft and designed to retain the support between the aperture retention arms and the intermediate head, and the aperture fastener piece having a plate shaft extending from an opposite side of the intermediate head and a coupling plate supported by the plate shaft, the coupling plate being engaged and retained by the plurality of plate retention surfaces within the receiver to couple the doghouse fastener piece and the aperture fastener piece together;
• wherein the annular wall of the receiver comprises a plurality of wall segments separated by gaps therebetween, and wherein the wall segments flexibly support the plate retention surfaces of the receiver to provide the flexibility necessary to couple and uncouple the coupling plate and the receiver together, which correspondingly couples and uncouples the doghouse fastener piece and the aperture fastener piece together.
