Abstract: A self-alignment system for attaching a trim panel to a vehicle door assembly is provided. The system includes a trim panel having an interior surface defining a housing platform, at least one alignment pin extending from the housing platform, and at least one locator pin adjacent the alignment pin. The system further includes an inboard door panel defining a plurality of through-holes configured to receive the alignment and locator pins. The alignment pin includes a rigid base portion extending integrally from the housing platform and a bifurcated resilient tapered portion extending integrally from the rigid base portion to a distal end. The rigid base portion includes an outer annular shell and an inner annular shell concentrically disposed within the outer annular shell. The bifurcated resilient tapered portion includes a first-half tapered portion and a second-half tapered portion defined by a plurality of ribs.

Abstract: A securement system is provided for use with a storage area of a vehicle having a cover panel adjustably positionable relative to the storage area. The securement system includes a locking portion cooperating with the cover panel including a body having a first end and an opposing second end terminating at a securement member. A receiving portion cooperates with the storage area and includes a housing, a channel extending at least partially through the receiving portion housing to receive and engage the locking portion securement member. The receiving portion channel includes a first passage configured to receive the locking portion securement member and a second passage configured to guide the locking portion body between at least a first position and a second position to receive and secure the securement member.
