Vehicle load box rail trim brackets, including a rail trim bracket comprised of a housing that is attached to a trim piece, a clamp that engages a load box rail; and a cam disposed between the housing and clamp. The housing, clamp, and cam are configured such that the clamp substantially rotates about the cam, the cam creating a metastable fulcrum point where forces between the housing, clamp, and cam are at a maximum. Rotating the clamp past the fulcrum point causes the clamp to engage the housing. The cam keeps the clamp in tension against the load box rail and in compression against the housing so as to secure the trim to the load box rail. The housing, clamp, and cam are preferably manufactured from glass-reinforced plastic.
