Abstract
A mounting clip for maintaining optimum positioning between a gutter and gutter cover or deflector designed to prevent debris from entering the gutter while directing rainwater into the gutter. In addition to maintaining proper positioning between the components, the gutter cover mounting clips substantially expedite installation of the system. The mounting clip includes an outer clip member into prevent separation of the cover from the gutter and a nesting inner clip member to maintain a proper gap between the cover and the gutter. An edge of the gutter is positionally captured between cooperating second ends of the inner and outer clip members. While expediting installation of the gutter cover at an optimum position relative to the gutter, the clips are positioned substantially inwardly so as to be concealed from ground view creating a clear installation.
