A clip assembly (110) for holding a component (112) during a vehicle assembly/disassembly process. This clip assembly (110) includes a clip structure (116) coupled to one of a component (112) and an associated structure (114) of a vehicle and a corresponding receptacle structure (118) manufactured into the other of the component (112) and the associated structure (114) of the vehicle. When the clip structure (116) is engaged with the corresponding receptacle structure (118), the clip assembly (110) holds the component (112) with respect to the associated structure (114) along three (orthogonal) axes, preventing translation of the component (112) with respect to the associated structure (114) in one or both directions along each axis. Along one of the axes, the engagement of the clip structure (116) with the corresponding receptacle structure (118) can be overcome by the application of a sufficiently high force to the component (112), thereby disengaging the clip structure (116) from the corresponding receptacle structure (118) and the component (112) from the associated structure (114).
