Claims12
A mounting device combinable with a motorized vehicle comprising:
- a first member positionable against a first surface of a vent cover of the vehicle, the first member including a back end with at least one projection including a slot;
- a second member positionable against a second surface of the vehicle vent cover, the second member including a back end with at least one tab configured to fit into the slot of the at least one projection, wherein placement of the at least one tab into the slot enables slight movement of the second member relative to first member so that the vehicle vent cover can be clamped between the first member and the second member when the first member and the second member are fastened at a front end of the second member;
- a mount positioned on one of the first or second members for receiving a motorized vehicle accessory;
- and
- at least one stabilizing screw configured to screw through at least one of the first and second members to push at least one of the first and second members away from a windshield of the vehicle.
A method of mounting a motor vehicle accessory to a motorized vehicle vent cover comprising:
- securing a mounting device to the vehicle vent cover, the mounting device including (i) a first member positionable against a first surface of the vehicle vent cover, the first member including a back end with at least one projection including a slot, (ii) a second member positionable against a second surface of the vehicle vent cover, the second member including a back end with at least one tab configured to fit into the slot of the at least one projection, wherein placement of the at least one tab into the slot enables slight movement of the second member relative to first member so that the vehicle vent cover can be clamped between the first member and the second member when the first member and the second member are fastened at a front end of the second member, (iii) a mount positioned on one of the first or second members for receiving a motorized vehicle accessory, and (iv) at least one stabilizing screw configured to screw through at least one of the first and second members to push at least one of the first and second members away from a windshield of the vehicle;
- and
- applying pressure between the mounting device and the windshield by turning the at least one stabilizing screw.
