In at least one implementation, a first component includes a first connector and a second component includes a second connector adapted to couple with the first connector to connect together the first component and second component. The first component may be formed from a polymer and have an exterior show surface, and the first connector may have a first opening bounded by a retainer. The second component may also be formed from a polymer and include an exterior show surface, and the second connector may have a second opening and a flexible and resilient tab that has an unflexed position in which the tab at least partially overlaps the opening. In assembly, the first connector is coupled to the second connector with the retainer at least partially extending through the second opening, the tab being received within the first opening and overlapped by the retainer.
