Claim:
A clip for connecting a member to a body, comprising: a pin with a head and a shank extending longitudinally from the head, the head extending laterally from the shank to an outer periphery of the head; a bushing with a flange and a shank extending longitudinally from the flange, the flange extending laterally from the shank to an outer periphery of the flange, and with a through-hole in the flange and the bushing shank into which the pin shank is inserted; and a water-tight seal member on the pin shank adjacent to the head for compression between the pin head and the flange, wherein a stop is formed on the pin head to keep a predetermined compressed thickness of the seal member when the pin shank is inserted into the through-hole and presses the seal member between the pin head and the flange, wherein the pin head is a plate with circular portions having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the bushing flange, the stop comprises plate portions extending laterally outward from the circular portions of the pin head, and an outer wall is formed at the outer periphery of the bushing flange and is disposed to engage the stop plate portions when the seal member is compressed between the pin head and the flange, and the height of the outer wall is predetermined to provide a predetermined compressed thickness of the seal member.
