Side fastener clip for a plate-like member

A fastener clip for mounting a plate-like member to a side wall, the plate-like member having a side edge to be held generally adjacent the side wall and a a beaded leading edge perpendicular to the side edge, the plate-like member also including means for preventing further forward movement beyond an installed position, said fastener clip comprising:

• a base member adapted for secure mounting to the side wall;
• a pair of spaced resilient parallel legs projecting outwardly from said base member generally perpendicularly to the side wall, the gap between said parallel legs being generally parallel to the installed position of the leading edge of the plate-like member;
• said parallel legs being spaced sufficiently far to receive the thickness of the plate-like member and sufficiently close to require deforming of said parallel legs to permit passage of the bead on the leading edge of the plate-like member;
• and
• a head formed on the end of each leg and extending generally away from the gap between said legs, each of said heads having at least a first inclined surface with said first inclined surfaces oriented with respect to each other so as to form a generally "V" shaped channel for guiding the leading edge and bead of the plate-like member into the space between said parallel legs;
• whereby the plate-like member is installed by positioning the leading edge in generally parallel relationship with said legs and inserting the bead and the leading edge through the gap between said legs.
