Abstract
In one aspect, an elastically averaged alignment system is provided. The elastically averaged alignment system includes a first component having an alignment member, and a second component having an inner wall defining an alignment aperture. The alignment aperture includes an insertion portion, a retention portion, and a transition portion therebetween. The alignment member is configured for insertion into the alignment aperture insertion portion and translation thereafter through the alignment aperture transition portion into the alignment aperture retention portion. The alignment member is an elastically deformable material such that when the alignment member is inserted into part of the alignment aperture, the alignment member elastically deforms to an elastically averaged final configuration to facilitate aligning the first component relative to the second component in a desired orientation.
