Abstract
A clip is structured for coupling together a first component and a second component. The clip includes a body portion and an opposing wall residing opposite and spaced apart from the body portion. At least one connecting member spans a space between the body portion and the opposing wall to connect the body portion and the opposing wall. The at least one connecting member is structured to enable resilient movement of each of the body portion and the opposing wall with respect to the other one of the body portion and the opposing wall responsive to a force acting on the body portion and/or a force acting on the opposing wall.
