Abstract
The clip includes a head part, a shaft part, a pin having first and second engaged parts at the shaft part, and a grommet having a flange part with an insertion hole, a leg part, and an engaging part engaging with/disengaging from the engaged part. The pin has the engaging part near the inner periphery of the insertion hole of the flange part. The pin has guide grooves between the first and second engaged parts to guide the movement of the pin while movably engaging the engaging part. Switching between a temporary fixing state and a permanent fixing state is conducted through movement of the shaft part associated with guiding by the guide grooves. When the pin in the permanent fixing state is rotated and moved in the pull-up direction associated with guiding by the guide grooves, engagement between the engaging part and the second engaged part is released.
