Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fastener, comprising a main body and a retaining member. The main body comprises a supporting beam. The retaining member is connected with the supporting beam and comprises a pair of retaining arms on a first side and a second side of the supporting beam respectively. The pair of retaining arms are configured to be deflectable toward the supporting beam to enable the retaining member to be inserted into a hole of a mounting part. The pair of retaining arms are configured to abut against the hole to retain the fastener in the hole. The main body is made of a first material, and the retaining member is made of a second material that is more wear-resistant than the first material. The retaining member in the present disclosure can be detached and installed multiple times.
