Abstract
A fastener device is provided for mounting an air current deflector shield to the stiffener panel of the hood of a vehicle without making any holes in the hood. The device includes a substantially flat base member with a post extending downwardly therefrom. Double-stick adhesive tape adheres the base member to the hood. The posts are adapted to extend through corresponding apertures in the shield, and a securement clip engages the post so as to sandwich the shield between the base member and clip of the fastener device and prevent removal of the shield from the post. The clip can be removed from the post using the tip of a tool, such as a screwdriver.
