In one aspect, an elastically averaged alignment system is provided. The system includes a first component having a plurality of opposed alignment members, the plurality of opposed alignment members defining a channel therebetween, and a second component configured for insertion into the channel between the plurality of opposed alignment members. At least one of the plurality of opposed alignment members and the second component is an elastically deformable material such that when the second component is inserted into the channel, at least one of the plurality of opposed alignment members and the second component elastically deform to an elastically averaged final configuration to facilitate aligning the first component and the second component in a desired orientation.
