Abstract
The clip retention assembly includes a base for attaching to a surface. The base includes a body, one or more snaps and a retaining member such that the surface is positioned between the one or more snaps and the retaining member to secure the base to the surface. A cap moves on the body from a released position to a retention position. The cap includes a head, a plurality of second snaps for retaining the cap on the base and a core. The core extends through the base body such that in the cap retention position the core is adjacent the base one or more snaps to prevent deflection.

A clip retention assembly comprising:
- a base for attaching to a surface, the base including a body, one or more snaps and a retaining member such that the surface is positioned between the one or more snaps and the retaining member to secure the base onto the surface;
- and
- a cap moving on the body from a released position to a retention position, the cap including a head, a plurality of second snaps engaging the base body for retaining the cap on the base and a core, the core extending through the base body such that in a retention position the core is adjacent the base one or more snaps to prevent deflection.
A switch striker comprising:
- a base for attaching to a surface, the base including a body, one or more snaps and a retaining member such that the surface is positioned between the one or more snaps and the retaining member to secure the base onto the surface;
- and
- a cap moving on the body from a released position to a retention position, the cap including a head acting as a striker, a plurality of second snaps engaging the base body for retaining the cap on the base and a core, the core extending through the base body such that in the cap retention position the core is adjacent the base one or more snaps to prevent deflection.
