See full text

A mounting device includes a base; a supporting surface mounted in a fixed spaced relationship to the base; and an engaging member having an engaging surface. The supporting surface is a surface of a supporting member, a portion of the second surface of the base, or combinations thereof. The engaging member is connected to the base, the supporting member or combination of the base and supporting member. The engaging member is moveable under a biasing force toward the supporting surface into an engaging position. The mounting devices can be mounted on a surface of a substrate, e.g. an automotive transparency to provide a panel, and the panels can be fixedly secured over an opening, e.g. an opening the body of a vehicle, without the use of structural adhesive.
