A clip assembly for holding a component adjacent to a structure while the component is being assembled to or disassembled from the structure, the clip assembly comprising: a clip structure adapted to be coupled to the component, the clip structure adapted to engage a corresponding receptacle structure formed on a surface of, formed within, or coupled to the structure; wherein, when engaged, the clip structure is adapted to interact with the receptacle structure to constrain translation of the component with respect to the structure in one or more directions along three orthogonal axes; and wherein, when a force sufficient to deflect the clip structure elastically or plastically within the receptacle structure is applied to clip structure in one direction along one of the three orthogonal axes, the clip structure is adapted to be disengaged from the receptacle structure in the one direction along the one of the three orthogonal axes, the clip assembly further comprising the receptacle structure adapted to be formed on a surface of, formed within, or coupled to the structure, the receptacle structure adapted to receive a corresponding clip structure coupled to the component; wherein, when received, the receptacle structure is adapted to interact with the clip structure to constrain translation of the component with respect to the structure in one or more directions along three orthogonal axes; and wherein, when a force sufficient to deflect the clip structure elastically or plastically within the receptacle structure is applied to clip structure in one direction along one of the three orthogonal axes, the clip structure is adapted to be disengaged from the receptacle structure in the one direction along the one of the three orthogonal axes, wherein the clip structure comprises a pair of parallel deflectable arm members each comprising angle portions forming right angles with an elongate portion of the arm member, the elongate portion comprising a substantially flat inboard surface, each arm member including an outboard barbed structure including a tapered end portion, the barbed structure adapted to interact with a corresponding access slot and locking chamber defined by the receptacle structure, thereby securing the clip structure within the receptacle structure when the barbed structure is disposed entirely within the locking chamber, wherein the angle portions are oriented in a same direction ad separate and spaced apart from each other. a clip structure adapted to be coupled to the component, the clip structure adapted to engage a corresponding receptacle structure formed on a surface of, formed within, or coupled to the structure; wherein, when engaged, the clip structure is adapted to interact with the receptacle structure to constrain translation of the component with respect to the structure in one or more directions along three orthogonal axes; and wherein, when a force sufficient to deflect the clip structure elastically or plastically within the receptacle structure is applied to clip structure in one direction along one of the three orthogonal axes, the clip structure is adapted to be disengaged from the receptacle structure in the one direction along the one of the three orthogonal axes, the clip assembly further comprising the receptacle structure adapted to be formed on a surface of, formed within, or coupled to the structure, the receptacle structure adapted to receive a corresponding clip structure coupled to the component; wherein, when received, the receptacle structure is adapted to interact with the clip structure to constrain translation of the component with respect to the structure in one or more directions along three orthogonal axes; and wherein, when a force sufficient to deflect the clip structure elastically or plastically within the receptacle structure is applied to clip structure in one direction along one of the three orthogonal axes, the clip structure is adapted to be disengaged from the receptacle structure in the one direction along the one of the three orthogonal axes, wherein the clip structure comprises a pair of parallel deflectable arm members each comprising angle portions forming right angles with an elongate portion of the arm member, the elongate portion comprising a substantially flat inboard surface, each arm member including an outboard barbed structure including a tapered end portion, the barbed structure adapted to interact with a corresponding access slot and locking chamber defined by the receptacle structure, thereby securing the clip structure within the receptacle structure when the barbed structure is disposed entirely within the locking chamber, wherein the angle portions are oriented in a same direction ad separate and spaced apart from each other.
