Abstract: Described is a compression-limiting fastener assembly for attaching a first component having a first opening relative to a second component having a second opening. The compression-limiting fastener assembly includes a male fastener, a retainer clip, and a female fastener. The male fastener includes a head and a shank. The retainer clip includes a recessed pocket with a fastener hole formed therein. The retainer clip includes a body portion having a pair of generally parallel legs that are resiliently connected to define a channel. The recessed pocket maintains a first distance (D1) between the pair of generally parallel legs. The retainer clip engages the first component via the first opening and the channel. The female fastener includes a bore to receive the shank is via the fastener hole and the second opening.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for retaining system coupling a first panel to a second panel via a retainer. The retainer comprises a body portion, a pair of flanges, a plurality of wings, and one or more retaining tabs. The body portion may employed a pair of legs that are spaced apart and flexibly connected to one another at a first end to define a channel. The channel is configured to receive and/or engage a bezel associated with the first panel. The pair of flanges are connected to and extends outwardly from a second end of its respective leg. The plurality of wings are coupled to the pair of legs and canted outwardly from the body portion. The plurality of wings are configured to engaged, for example, a retaining ledge of the second panel when the bezel is inserted in the channel. The one or more retaining tabs extending inwardly from one of the pair of legs and engage the bezel.
