RETAINING CLIP FOR A DOOR ASSEMBLY
A clip for a vehicle door assembly includes a base, a plurality of fingers forming an expandable opening, and an arm extending from the base for locating the clip within the door assembly. Each of the fingers includes an inward projecting tab at least partially defining the expandable opening such that a tip of a pin contacts the inward projecting tabs during insertion of the pin causing the plurality of fingers to expand outward to an expanded position allowing the pin to enter the expandable opening until the inward projecting tabs align with a groove formed in the pin adjacent the tip wherein the inward projecting tabs enter the groove allowing the plurality of fingers to return to a natural position and secure the pin in position. Inner and outer members of the door assembly secure the clip therebetween for receiving pins associated with movement of the door.
