Abstract
A modular system of routing clip subcomponents having compatible interlocking features allows for as-needed assembly of multiple clips and extensions, thereby eliminating the need for specialized standoff brackets and clipping devices when routing vehicle wires, hoses, tubes, cables, harnesses, and the like. Generally molded from high-impact and decay resistant polymers, the elements of the modular system are inexpensive to manufacture and simple to assemble by hand.
