Abstract
A releasable push-in fastener assembly for joining a first component to a panel comprises a pair of spaced latch legs extending from the first component for engagement in an opening in the panel. An axially elongated pin is adapted to extend into the space between the legs from an opening in the first component to maintain the legs in their latched relationship with the opening in the panel. A shroud is carried by the outer end of the pin to enclose a portion of the first component to present a pleasing appearance and conceal the presence of the pin.
