Abstract: A U-base clip component can include a pair of rib coupling barbs which can extend inwardly from two opposing clip side walls. A seal component can include two opposing aperture retention wings coupled to a central wall. A first and a second component annular seal can extend from opposite respective sides of the central wall. The U-base clip component and the seal component can define an interior rib receiving cavity between both the clip side walls and the aperture retention wings. A pair of rib coupling barbs can extend into the interior rib receiving cavity from the clip side walls and the two opposing aperture retention wings can extend exteriorly from the clip side walls. The rib coupling barbs of the U-base clip can be designed to couple fastener to the rib and the aperture retention wings can be designed to couple the dual component sealing fastener to the aperture.

Abstract: A deformable tapping plate can include a central member including at least two mounting openings and a mounting surface wherein the mounting surface defines a mounting plane. The deformable tapping plate can also include a first attachment pad located adjacent a first end of the central member that is connected to the central member by a first connecting arm. The first attachment pad includes a first attachment surface defining an attachment plane. The first connecting arm can include a first arched portion that projects away from both the mounting plane and the attachment plane and can include a first narrowed apex having a thickness that is less than a thickness of adjacent portions of the first arched portion.

Abstract: A U-base clip component can include two opposing side walls joined together at an insertion end with a rib receiving cavity between the two opposing side walls. Aperture retention arms can extend outwardly from the two opposing side walls, respectively. Rib coupling arms can extend inwardly from the two opposing side walls. A seal component can include a central wall having a clip aperture therethrough. A first component annular seal can extend in a first direction away from a first side of the central wall. A second component annular seal can extend in a second, opposite direction away from a second, opposite side of the central wall. The seal component and the U-base clip component can have a shipping configuration in which the U-base clip component extends through the clip aperture with the seal component coupled between the trailing end and the aperture retention arms of the U-base clip component.

Abstract: First and second apertures can extend through corresponding first and second walls that define a cavity therebetween. Each aperture can have a stud retention zone and a stud release zone laterally spaced from each other, and the corresponding zones of each aperture can be axially aligned with each other. Spring retention fingers can extend outwardly from the first wall and into the first aperture. The spring retention fingers can deflect to pass over threads of the stud in an axial stud insertion direction and can engage the threads to prevent removal of the stud in an opposite stud removal direction when the stud is in the stud retention zone. The spring retention fingers can be designed to allow removal of the stud from the apertures when the stud is in the release zones. The main body can fully enclose the entire periphery of each of the first and second apertures.
