A universal snap-engagement system for removably connecting separate components together. The first component has a wall defining a channel with an array of flexible teeth extending from the wall into the channel to at least partially obstruct the channel recess. The teeth are spaced-apart and define open slots there between. A separate second component includes a connection peg that has a front wall and a longitudinally-extending sidewall. The sidewall has a groove this is spaced from the front wall and that extends transversely about the peg. The peg is receivable within the channel such that the flexible teeth are deflected by the peg and return to an original non-defected position when seated within the groove to securely connect the first component to the second component. As an alternative, the teeth can extend from the peg and the groove can be formed in the wall of the first component.
