Abstract

See full text

A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) module for a vehicle includes a base, a cover, and a clamp. The base is configured to define a post protruding from a wall of the base. The cover is configured to define a hole that cooperates with the post to couple the cover to the base to form a housing of the module. The base is further configured to define the clamp which is coupled to the wall by a hinge. The clamp is operable between an open position where the hole can be placed around the post and a closed position where the clamp retains the hole around the post.
