Two stage attachment anchor

摘要

A connector assembly for attaching a hardware component and a trim panel to a vehicular structure includes a shank ( 18 ) and a head ( 20 ). The shank has a head end ( 22 ) and an anchor end ( 24 ) for securing the hardware component to the vehicular structure. The head has a trim retaining end and a shank engaging end.( 42 ) The trim retaining end secures the connector assembly ( 10 ) to a trim panel. A break neck ( 50 ) is disposed between the shank engaging end and the trim retaining end of the head. Upon application of a load to the head, the head breaks from the shank at the break neck, allowing the removal of the trim panel from the hardware component and the vehicular structure.
