2. Description of the Related Art To fix a wire harness to a vehicle panel, a wire harness clip (hereinafter, referred to as "clip") is engaged by using a hole formed in the panel.
Is often used. 6 is a perspective view showing a conventional clip, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of a clip attached to a panel, and FIG. 8 is a side view of a clip in which a wire harness is fixed to the panel. The clip 1 includes a plate-shaped main body 5 to which the wire harness 3 is attached with an adhesive tape or the like,
The main body 5 includes a locking portion 7 that stands vertically from the main body 5 and a biasing piece 9 that protrudes from the main body 5. The locking portion 7 has a shaft portion 11 standing upright from the main body 5 and a claw portion 13 vertically extending from the tip of the shaft portion 11 toward the main body 5. In addition, the biasing piece 9
It protrudes in an inclined state from the main body 5 so as to face the claw portion 13 and has flexibility.

In order to fix the wire harness 3 to the panel 15 using the clip 1 configured as described above,
First, the wire harness 3 is attached to the main body 5 by winding, for example, the adhesive tape 2. Next, the locking portion 7 is inserted into the hole 17 of the panel 15. The locking portion 7 is inserted into the hole 17 so that the claw portion 13 is elastically displaced to reduce the diameter.
