Putting the heater control mounting clip back in 444-544 1958

58 444---I had removed the metal clip from the back of the heater control unit a while back. It is the piece that holds the unit in place. On one end it has an "S" bend and on the other, a "C". When I had asked about removing this, 58Duett had mentioned to note how it sat so I could get it back in. I did note it, but then forgot as time passed. So now I cannot see how this piece goes back in. There doesn't seem to be a place for the clamp/spring to attach to the unit. Can anyone recall the alignment of this clamp? I think the C part presses against the lower section of the dash(a inch wide tray that runs along the length of the dash). Where does the S shape go? Next time, I write it down.

    Wow- nice pic, worth a thousand words, that clip can be frustrating for such a seemingly simple, well designed piece.

    I'm replying to my own message. I figured it out. The trick is--as you put the unit back into the dash, you must make sure the top part goes in first and sits as far forward as possible. Then the bracket pushes against the unit from the bottom, holding it snugly in place. Here's a side view of the clamp. The S portion pushes against the bottom of the unit while the C portion snaps into place along the bottom of the dash frame.
