Abstract
A rod guide member includes a base portion having integral attachment means for securement to a sheet metal panel and a pair of integral legs which receive a rod member therebetween. One leg member is thicker than the other to withstand lateral loads imposed thereon by the rod member. The other leg has flexible extensions which engage the rod member and bias the rod member into engagement with ribs on the one leg member.
