FASTENER CLIP ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Two structural members are secured together by a fastener and stud having an enlarged head. The fastener is a resilient one-piece metal clip having one or more portions secured to one of the structural members and a raised portion. The raised portion has a slot formed therein with an access opening to receive the enlarged stud head. The sides of the slot taper inwardly from the access opening to a point of minimum spacing at which point a step is formed in each side and the sides extend essentially parallel to the closed end of the slot at an increased spacing. The stud has a shaft diameter corresponding to the increased spacing portion of the slot and is locked to the fastener by positioning the head through the access opening and moving the stud to the closed end springing the tapered portions until clearing the step whereby the taper portions spring back to their normal positions and the shaft is locked behind the steps against unintentional removal.
