Abstract
A retaining assembly is provided for an amplifier or other component to be inserted in a compartment formed in the instrument panel of an automotive vehicle. The assembly includes at least one clip having a pair of vertically spaced latching tongues carried on resilient arms to permit snap fit engagement of the component in the compartment without substantial modification to the instrument panel. A locating pin aids in support of the component, and the assembly provides the sole vertical support.
