Floor-Mat Attachment Clip

A redesigned global floor-mat clip provided the opportunity to revise attachment of the mat to the carpet post from the lower and upper clip halves.  The new design features a more robust J-hook to join clip halves and a tri-lobular attachment design on the upper clip half to grip the carpet post in the vehicle. To reduce arm breakage and scrap a new UV-stable, impact-modified, MIC POM copolymer grade was developed that met both functional and aesthetic requirements simultaneously.  The new design saves between $0.30 and $1.00 USD / affected unit, drove the scrap rate to almost zero, and reduced breakage during installation.
