  • Patent number: 5433571
    Abstract: A fastening device is provided to secure a sagging headliner to the interior roof portion of a motor vehicle. The device consists essentially of an upholstery type button which has been modified by attaching thereto a V-shaped member made from spring steel wire. The device is installed in the ceiling of the vehicle by squeezing the two prongs of the V-shaped member into a sharp point, and then pushing the point through the headliner and into a cardboard backing. When the button has been fully pushed in, the prongs of the V-shaped member will spread apart under the force of the flexed steel, and thereby hold the button, and the headliner, up against the roof of the car.
