Means for attaching an outer U-shaped strip to bridge the space between the edges of two essentially parallel spaced apart wall structures having inturned end flanges at their outer extremities, said end flanges being essentially perpendicular to said wall structures comprising: first clip means secured to said strip, second clip means having spaced apart leg portions extending essentially perpendicular to said wall structures and engageable, respectively, with the inner and outer surfaces of said inturned end flanges of said wall structures to thereby retain said second clip means against movement in a direction parallel to said wall structures, and connecting means carried by one of said clip means and frictionally engageable with the other clip means to hold said first and second clip means in assembled relation to thereby retain said cover strip in bridging relation to said wall structures, and said strip having side flanges engageable with said wall structures to hold said wall structures against movement away from each other.
