Abstract:
A panel of a vehicle body structure has a first slot and a second slot spaced apart from one another. A component has a mounting structure that includes a first tab and a second tab spaced apart from the first tab. A first head of the first tab is inserted through a wide second end of the first slot and the second head of the second tab is inserted through a wide second end of the second slot. The first tab and the second tab thereafter moved to a corresponding one of respective narrow first ends of the first and second slots. Consequently, the first head of the first tab rests on a first upper surface portion of a first area of the panel and the second head rests on a third upper surface portion of a second area of the panel thereby suspending the component from the panel.
