The fixing clip includes three interengaging parts: a flexible seal cap 21, a grommet 1 with a plurality of flexible leg pieces 3 which engages with a hole in the panel, and a pin 11 which is pressed into the grommet to fix the grommet to the panel. The pin 11 includes ribs 15 which match the profile of the the grommet and fit between the leg pieces. The seal cap 21 encloses the grommet and includes flexible pleats 23 which fit into the gaps between the leg pieces, and flex during the process of attaching the grommet to the hole, allowing the grommet to be fitted securely. The clip is used, for example, to fix vehicle trim to a body panel; the seal cap ensures that water cannot penetrate the body panel at the point of attachment of the fixing clip.
