Stand-off mounting system for assist straps

An assist strap for attaching onto a vehicle surface comprising:

• a strength-imparting member extending the length of said assist strap, said strap having an end;
• an anti-rotation member engaging said end of said assist strap and cooperative with said surface for resisting substantial rotation of said end relative to said surface;
• said anti-rotation member including flanges which overlie said end and a snap-in projection for securing said end to said anti-rotation member;
• said flanges of said anti-rotation member which overlie said end and said projection of said anti-rotation member cooperating with said end such that insertion of said end into said anti-rotation member causes said projection to be snapped into an opening in said end, said flanges holding said end in such operative position;
• a first fastener securing said end and said anti-rotation member to said surface;
• a cover cooperating with said anti-rotation member for concealing the entirety of said anti-rotation member, said end, and said first fastener.

An assist strap for attaching onto a surface comprising:

• a strength imparting member extending the length of said assist strap, said strap having an end;
• an anti-rotation member constructed of resilient material with unfinished surfaces, said anti-rotation member engaging said end of said assist strap and cooperative with said surface for resisting substantial rotation of said end relative to said surface, said anti-rotation member including a pair of flanges for overlying said end of said assist strap and being configured to allow insertion of said end into a cooperative anti-rotation relationship therewith with said flanges overlying said end of said assist strap;
• a fastening system wherein a first fastener extends through a first hole in said anti-rotation member and through a second hole in said end and threads into a second fastener which is attached to said vehicle surface in an anti-rotational fashion;
• a cover defining an enclosure within which all the lateral extremities of said anti-rotation member, said end, and said first fastener are completely received and concealed in their entirety when said cover is removably engaged with said anti-rotation member.
