A latch mechanism for securing together first and second parts of an assembly includes a first latching component comprising a retainer having an engagement surface; a resilient connector connecting the first latching component to the first part and applying a resilient action on the first latching component resisting displacement of the first latching component in a latching direction; and a second latching component comprising a projection having a latching surface and attached to the second part with the projection projecting outwardly from the second part to a free end of the projection. The engagement surface is engageable with the latching surface to prevent displacement of the first latching component relative to the second latching component in a direction opposite to a latching direction. The latch mechanism further comprises a guide surface on the second latching component and a limb provided on the first latching component.
