A self-retaining stud solution providing proper seal compression and enables component serviceability and float in the assembly.
Ensures controlled compression of seal against liquid intrusion.
Prevents permanent set in the seal to enable component service with the same part.
Allows the mating doghouse to float in the assembly while under full clamp load.
Prevents permanent set in the seal to maintain a tight joint and reduce BSR.
Achieves ~40% weight reduction over traditional solutions.
