This invention relates to a quick screw mounting means usable with a plastic member adapted to accept secondary elements relative thereto. The mounting means includes a bore hole open along one side formed in the mounting member and an axially extending slot substantially parallel to and communicating with said bore holes along its open side and extending laterally therefrom. A flat sheet metal clip is slid into the slot and locked therein by a head flange engaging the outer end and a pair of resilient leg members opposite the head engaging the mounting means adjacent the opposite end of the bore hole. At least one resilient arm intermediate the head and leg members extends into the bore hole to engage a screw theaded member that is axially pushed without rotation into the bore hole. The arms engage the thread and permit adjustment of the screw, as well as removal, by appropriate rotation.
