Abstract
The fixing system comprises a clip (1) and a peg (15) previously fixed to the respective accessory (13) which is to be attached to the clip (1) to define an integral assembly that is fixable to the respective self-supporting panel or element. The clip (1) has a window (14) on its base, allowing a peg (15) through, the peg being fixed by means of the facing top edges (11) in which the sides (8) of the actual clip (1) end, the foregoing in order that, by inserting and clipping the peg (15) through the clip (1), the integral clip-peg-accessory assembly may be fix onto the respective bodywork vehicle directly, without anchorage screws being required. Dismounting can be easily made by means of a suitable implement which is driven to turn and separate the top edges (11), allowing the clip to be rendered independent from the peg, and hence the assembly to be dismounted.
