    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a clip assembly configured to securely connect a first component to a second component. The clip assembly may include a rotatable pin and a housing. The rotatable pin includes a shaft connected to a neck, which is, in turn, connected to a head having a first dimension and a second dimension. The first dimension is greater than the second dimension. The housing is configured to receive and retain the rotatable pin and includes a pin chamber and opposing flex arms extending into the pin chamber. The first dimension of the head is configured to spread the flex arms open into a locked position, and the second dimension of the head is configured to allow the flex arms to retract to an unlocked position. The rotatable pin is configured to be rotated between the locked and unlocked positions.
