Abstract: A retention structure includes a retainer housing for retaining an object, such as a fastener, commonly used to secure trim panel to an inner vehicle panel. The retainer housing is defined by a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a back wall, and a base. The first sidewall, the second sidewall and the back wall extend from the substrate to the base, and a retention portion for retaining an object. The base includes a first deflection slot, a second deflection slot, a first tab formed by the first deflection slot and an insertion slot, and a second tab formed by the second deflection slot and the insertion slot. The object is inserted into the retention portion with a relatively low insertion force and is retained within the retention portion with a relatively high retention force. The retainer housing can be integrally formed with a substrate by using well known molding techniques. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
