Abstract
A fastener housing for securing a bumper fascia to a fender panel includes a shank portion, a skirt portion, and an arm portion. The shank portion includes a first end and an opposite second end and a throughbore extending from the first end to the second end. The shank portion has a widened cross sectional shape which avoids rotation upon insertion into the connection portion of the bumper fascia or fender panel. The skirt portion extends radially from the first end of the shank portion. The arm portion includes a proximate end connected to the skirt portion and a distal end having a protrusion extending generally normal from the arm portion.
