A vehicle comprises: a first seating assembly including a seat, a seatback, and a midline defining an outboard direction directed away from the midline, and an inboard direction directed toward the midline; the seatback comprising a trim carrier interconnected with a closeout panel through a snap-fit connection; wherein, the snap-fit connection resists disconnection of the trim carrier from the closeout panel when a force is applied to the trim carrier from the outboard direction of the snap-fit connection to a greater degree than when a force is applied to the trim carrier from the inboard direction of the snap-fit connection. A grommet attached to the trim carrier can provide the snap-fit connection between the trim carrier and the closeout panel.
