Abstract
A fastener assembly includes a grommet and a pin. The grommet includes a body and a collar. The body has a hollow cylindrical cavity that has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The body includes flexible snaps connected to an exterior surface of the body. The flexible snaps are to flex in a radial direction with respect to a central longitudinal axis. The collar is provided at the second end of the body. The collar includes engagement members that extend from the collar in a direction opposite to the body to engage with the pin. The pin includes a shaft insertable into the body to cooperate with the flexible snaps to prevent radially inward movement of the flexible snaps.
