A self-locking mounting insert (2) is provided for attaching a panel (34) to a vehicle structure. A tab (36) of the panel (34) may be inserted into a keyway (12) of the insert. The tab (36) may slide between a latched and unlatched position within the keyway (12). When in the latched position, a latching member (6) prevents the tab (36) from being removed from the keyway (12). By moving a magnet proximate to the latching member (6), the latching member (6) may be magnetically impelled to move to an unlatched position to permit the tab (36) to be removed from the keyway (12).
