Abstract
An auger clip assembly configured to be secured to a foam panel may include a main body having a cylindrical main wall that define a central chamber, a first set of opposed threads radially extending from the main wall and a connection stud secured to the main body. Each of the threads includes a leading edge connected to a trailing end, which is in turn connected to a stop flap that outwardly extends from the main wall. The connection stud is configured to securely mate into a reciprocal hole of a structure, such as a vehicle frame. The main body securely connects within a mating hole of the foam panel through a quarter turn.
