A trim molding assembly including a component having an attachment portion, at least one retainer in which the component and the retainer attach to one another, at least one clip on the retainer, and at least one detent area on the component. The component contacts the retainer clip, such that the attachment portion of the component is placed between the clip and a plurality of surfaces of the retainer. The attachment portion of the component extends through a first detent area and connects a first detent side of the first detent area and a second detent side of the first detent area. The attachment portion has a greater length than the clip such that the component changes positions with respect to the retainer while maintaining the connection between the retainer and the component.

What is claimed is: 1. A trim molding assembly comprising: a component having an attachment portion; at least one retainer, wherein said component and said at least one retainer attach to one another; at least one clip on said at least one retainer, wherein said component contacts said at least one retainer at said at least one clip, such that said attachment portion of said component is placed between said at least one clip and a plurality of surfaces of said retainer, wherein said plurality of surfaces including a first surface and a second surface are connected by a third surface, such that said third surface is an angled surface and said first surface and said second surface are at different heights with respect to one another; and at least one detent area on said component, wherein said attachment portion of said component extends through a first detent area and connects a first detent side of said first detent area and a second detent side of said first detent area, and said attachment portion has a greater length than said at least one clip such that said component changes positions with respect to said at least one retainer while maintaining the connection between said at least one retainer and said component. 2. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein said clip extends from said second surface, such that said attachment portion is placed between said clip and said second surface. 3. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein said clip extends from said second surface substantially parallel to said third surface, and said first detent side and said second detent side contact said second surface substantially parallel to said third surface. 4. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein said clip extends from said second surface substantially perpendicular to said third surface, and said first detent side and said second detent side of contact said second surface substantially perpendicular to said third surface. 5. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein when said component is attached to said retainer, said first surface is approximately even with a top surface of said second detent side, and said first surface is placed in a second detent area which is formed by said second detent sides of said first detent area such that there is said first detent area on both sides of said second detent area. 6. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein said first detent side has a flange that extends towards said clip, such that said flange contacts said clip and a top surface of said first side is at a greater height than said clip. 7. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein an attachment mechanism extends through said first surface in order to attach said retainer to a second component. 8. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein an end of said second surface opposite said third surface has a flange that extends away from said component in order to guide said component when moving with respect to said retainer. 9. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein the position of said component is altered with respect to said retainer due to thermal variations of said component. 10. The trim molding assembly of claim 1, wherein said retainer has at least a first ramp surface and a second ramp surface, such that said attachment portion of said component slides along said first ramp surface when being placed under said clip, and said second ramp surface is on said clip for retaining said component. 11. A trim molding assembly comprising: a component having an attachment portion; at least one retainer, wherein said component and said at least one retainer attach to one another; a plurality of surfaces on said at least one retainer, wherein a first surface and a second surface are connected by a third surface, such that said third surface is an angled surface and said first surface and said second surface are at different heights with respect to one another; at least one clip that extends from said second surface substantially parallel to said third surface, wherein said component attaches to said at least one retainer at said at least one clip such that said attachment portion of said component is placed between said at least one clip and said second surface; and a plurality of detent areas on said component, wherein said attachment portion of said component extends through a first detent area and connects a first detent side of said first detent area and a second side of said first detent area, said first surface is placed in a second detent area which is formed by said second detent sides so that there is said first detent area on both sides of said second detent area, and said attachment area has a greater length than said at least one clip such that said component changes positions with respect to said at least one retainer while maintaining the connection between said at least one retainer and said component. 12. The trim molding assembly of claim 11, wherein an attachment mechanism extends through said first surface in order to attach said retainer to a second component. 13. The trim molding assembly of claim 11, wherein an end of said second surface opposite said third surface has a flange that extends away from said component in order to guide said component when moving with respect to said retainer. 14. The trim molding assembly of claim 11, wherein the position of said component is altered with respect to said retainer due to thermal variations of said component. 15. The trim molding assembly of claim 11, wherein said retainer has at least a first ramp surface and a second ramp surface, such that said attachment portion of said component slides along said first ramp surface when being placed under said clip, and said second ramp surface is said clip for retaining said component. 16. A trim molding assembly comprising: a component having an attachment portion; at least one retainer, wherein said component and said at least one retainer attach to one another; a plurality of surfaces on said at least one retainer, wherein a first surface and a second surface are connected by a third surface, such that said third surface is an angled surface and said first surface and said second surface are at different heights with respect to one another; at least one clip that extends from said second surface substantially perpendicular to said third surface, wherein said component attaches to said at least one retainer at said at least one clip such that said attachment portion of said component is placed between said at least one clip and said second surface; an attachment mechanism extending through said first surface, wherein said attachment mechanism connects said at least one retainer to a second component; a plurality of detent areas on said component, wherein said attachment portion of said component extends through a first detent area and connects a first detent side of said first detent area and a second detent side of said first detent area, said first surface is placed in a second detent area which is formed by said second sides of said first detent areas so that there is said first detent area on both sides of said second detent area, and said attachment area has a greater length than said at least one clip such that said component changes positions with respect to said at least one clip due to thermal variations while maintaining the connection between said at least one retainer and said component; and a flange extending from an end of said second surface opposite said third surface, wherein said flange extends away from said component in order to guide said component when moving with respect to said clip. 17.
