In one aspect, a coupling system is provided. The coupling system includes a first component comprising a body, a second component comprising an inner wall defining at least one receiving aperture, wherein a notch is formed in the inner wall, and at least one tab extending outwardly from the body. The at least one tab is biased in a direction away from the body, and a retention feature is formed on the at least one tab and configured to interferingly engage the notch. When the at least one tab is inserted into a corresponding receiving aperture of the at least one receiving aperture, the at least one tab is biased against the inner wall and the retention feature interferingly engages the notch to facilitate coupling the first component to the second component in a desired orientation.
