Abstract
A handle (12) mounted to a support bracket (34) underlying a headliner (10) through two mounting devices (11). Each mounting device (11) includes a T-shaped end section (24) of a U-shaped spring metal strap (22) of the handle having a T-end that engages a T-shaped aperture in the support bracket (34). The body (20) of the handle includes a tab (23) that extends beyond end 51 of the body (20) and into the T-shaped aperture to abut an abutment shoulder (44) adjacent the T-shaped aperture in order to interlock with the T-shaped end section (24) of the strap. The tab (23) is removable from the aperture (40) and disengageable from the abutment shoulder (44) to allow the handle to be removable from the bracket (34).
