US Patent 10065577 Plastic J-hook retainer with rubber

A J-hook retainer includes a rigid structural component shaped with a hooked end. A soft rubber section is applied to or molded with the rigid structural component. The J-hook retainer holds a trim fabric in place over a vehicle component frame. Advantageously, the soft rubber section minimizes free play and rattling as well as assisting in avoiding sliding and detachment in case of partial contact between the J-hook retainer and vehicle component frame.
