Abstract

A panel assembly has a slider that is a one-piece plastic casting. The casting has a closure having a margin and a pair of opposed arms joined to the closure. The arms and closure together have a continuous inner surface and a continuous outer surface. The inner and outer surfaces are opposed and define a thickness dimension. The inner and outer surfaces adjoin the margin. The arms are each resiliently bendable about a respective bending axis. The bending axes are each perpendicular to the inner and outer surfaces.
