Abstract: A retainer is provided for securing first and second ends of a trim cover of a vehicle seatback to a portion of a frame of the vehicle seatback such that the first and second trim cover ends are in generally adjacent relation when the retainer is fixed to the frame portion. The retainer includes a first elongate body having a base portion and first and second arms extending in spaced relation from the base portion defining a first, open-ended channel therebetween. A second elongate body has a base portion and first and second arms extending in spaced relation from the base portion thereof defining a second, open-ended channel therebetween. The second arm of the second body is coupled to the first body in such a manner that (1) a longitudinal axis of the first body is in parallel relation with a longitudinal axis of the second body and (2) an open end of the first channel is oriented at an angle of at least 180.degree. with respect to an open end of the second channel.
