The invention includes a single-piece clip (10) for securing an article(s) to a panel having a hole formed therein. The clip (10) includes a tape bar (12) having a slot (22) formed in the bar (12) and at least one portion of the bar for securing to the article such as a wire harness by taping or other suitable means. The clip (10) also includes a stem (24) extending through the slot (22) and having an insertion head (26) at one end for inserting through the hole in a panel and engaging the rear face of the panel. A first set of wings (30) extend outwardly from the stem (24) at a location below the insertion head (26) and above a top surface of the tape bar (12). A second set of wings (34) extend outwardly from the stem (24) at one end of the stem (24) and below a bottom face of the tape bar (12). Both sets of wings (30,34) have a breathe sufficient to prevent the wings from being pulled or pushed through the slot formed in the tape bar (12).
