Member for preventing oil canning of a panel in a vehicle

摘要

A support system includes a first panel and a second panel spaced from the first panel. The first panel defines an opening and includes a rim which surrounds the opening. A member is disposed between the panels. The member is attached to the first panel and provides support to the second panel to prevent the second panel from "oil canning" or flexing toward the first panel. The member includes a base, a first leg, and a second leg. A retaining feature is disposed on each of the legs which engages the rim of the first panel. While the retaining feature engages the rim of the first panel, the base supports the second panel such that the second panel is prevented from flexing toward the first panel.
