Abstract: A visor support assembly mountable to a vehicle having a headliner and adapted to secure a portion of a sun-visor includes a support adapted to securedly receive the portion of the sun-visor. The support includes a surface which engages the headliner and an insert which projects through a hole in the headliner. A retainer includes a generally flat body and an aperture sized to fit around the insert. The retainer may further include a plurality of tabs extending inwardly from the body. The tabs engage the insert holding the headliner securely between said surface and said retainer body.

Abstract: A fastener for connecting a first panel to a second panel comprises a head and a shaft, the shaft including a plurality of spring legs, each connected at one end to the head and flexing inward and outward relative to the one end. The shaft is dimensioned for insertion into an aperture of the second panel with interference against aperture-defining edges. A plurality of grooves are formed within each spring leg, each groove separated from an adjacent groove by a rib. The rib is configured having a ramped leading surface, a stepped trailing surface and a peak surface disposed between the leading and trailing surfaces. The grooves of one spring leg are axially misaligned with the corresponding grooves of an adjacent spring leg such that each spring leg alternately locks its grooves to the aperture-defining edges of the second panel as the shaft is inserted into the aperture. The head of the fastener can be modified to connect with the first panel in multitude of alternative configurations.
