Disclosed are systems and methods for coupling a first panel to a second panel via a fastener. The fastener having a cap, a shank, pair of wings, and one or more PIA-retention features. The shank defines a central longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the cap. The pair of wings is resiliently coupled to the shank at a distal end thereof. The pair of wings includes a first wing and a second wing, each angled away from the central longitudinal axis. In some examples, the one or more PIA-retention features can be a pair of whiskers resiliently coupled to the shank and angled away from the central longitudinal axis. Each of the pair of whiskers is substantially perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. In other examples, the one or more PIA-retention features include a first fin resiliently coupled to and angled away from the first wing and a second fin resiliently coupled to and angled away from the second wing. The first fin and the second fin can retain the fastener relative to the first panel.
