Abstract
An embossment for a plastic panel is provided. The embossment projects out from the panel and can secure the panel to an object or support the panel away from the object as a standoff. A plurality of support legs are integrally formed to both the embossment and the panel which separates the embossment from the panel and provides stability to the embossment. While attaching the embossment to the vehicle, such as by rotationally inserting a screw, the support legs prevent the embossment from rotating and/or disconnecting from the panel. In this manner, the panel is maintained in a proper location during installation. The support legs have a reduced contact area with the panel such that abnormalities on the show surface that would be created by the embossment are eliminated.
