Abstract:

[Problem] To reduce the necessary attachment space in a clip joined to a hole. [Solution] A clip (1) for joining a first cowl (25) having a striker (35) that defines a first through-hole (39), and a second cowl (26) in which is formed a second through-hole (40) into which the striker is inserted, the clip (1) being joined to a joining hole (43) defined by the first through-hole that passes through the second through-hole, and by the second cowl; wherein the clip (1) has a flexible tube-shaped main body (2) formed so that the distance from the center axis (A) to the outer surface is different in the direction of rotation about the center axis. The main body is configured so that the center axis perpendicularly intersects the axis of the joining hole, the main body being inserted into the joining hole between a first rotating position and a second rotating position so as to be capable of rotating about the center axis, and being unrestrictedly fitted into the joining hole in the first rotational position. An outer part is sandwiched between the walls of the joining hole in the second rotational position.
