A method comprising inserting a fastener clip inside an injection mold cavity to use as part of the injection mold cavity. The fastener clip is inserted into the injection mold cavity where a blade is to be formed on a plastic component. The fastener clip is configured to engage and couple to the blade and to the plastic component and to engage and couple to a slot in a structure. Also included is injecting flowing plastic into the fastener clip and the injection mold to form the lade. At least a portion of a contour of a surface of the blade follows a contour of an inner surface of the fastener clip.A fastener clip comprising a pair of laterally offset legs joined at a head portion, wherein the legs form a clip opening at an opposite end of the head portion, wherein the pair of legs are configured to spring back to an original position based at least in part on the pair of legs being pushed together, a pair of outward projections extending outward from the pair of legs, a pair of inward projections correspondingly extending inward from the pair of legs, wherein the fastener clip attaches to a slot in a structure based at least upon: the fastener clip being pushed into the slot, the pair of legs compressing for the outward projections to clear the slot, the pair of legs decompressing, the pair of outward projections engaging an inner part of the slot, and contact forces generated between the pair of outward projections and the inner part of the slot.
