Abstract:

A plastic sheet support clip is provided for use in conjunction with a plastic sheet which performs the function of a protective seal to inhibit the passage of water into the cargo compartment of trucks having a door that is not adequate for water protection. This plastic sheet support clip is formed from a single thin piece of sheet metal. When the metal is stamped the invention is formed comprising a channel form retainer open at the top and a mounting flange having holes to assist in securing the invention to the side walls of the truck. The retainer has a bottom, a front wall and two side walls. A V-shaped notch is formed in the front wall and opening at the upper edge of the front wall. Lower portions of the notch are sharpened and act as a plastic sheet tearer or cutter.
