Abstract:
1. A system for securing a trim cover bead to a flexible substrate comprising: a base adapted to adhere to the substrate material and including a keyhole; and a clip projection having a pair of legs with top barbs that form a cavity for trapping the bead when it is forcibly passed between the barbs, the clip projection including a key that removably mounts to the keyhole; a cap constructed and arranged to be mounted over the keyhole on a side of the base opposite the clip projection so as to prevent the flexible substrate material from interfering with the keyhole; and wherein the keyhole is surrounded by a recess on a side of the base opposite a side that faces the clip projection and wherein the recess is constructed and arranged to removably receive the cap that covers the recess to resist infiltration of the substrate material in a liquid state.
