An improved push pin style plastic fastener having a head and a threaded shank. The head has a flange having a bottom surface for retaining an object to a substrate. The threaded shank has a first, or top, section and a second, or bottom, section. The second is provided with a void or channel running down the center of the second section of the shank. The void or channel divides the second section of the shank into a series of lobes. The lobes flex inward when the fastener is pushed into aligned openings of the object and substrate. The top section of the threaded shank is solid. As the shank is inserted to the first section, the lobes of the shank reflex or rebound outward to the non-biased position, retaining the plastic fastener in the aligned openings of the object being retained and the substrate.
