Abstract
A mounting device includes a base having a first major surface and a second opposite major surface; a supporting member having a supporting surface connected to the base, and spaced from and facing away from the base, and an engaging member having an engaging surface in facing relationship to the supporting surface. The engaging member is connected to the base and the supporting member such that moving the supporting member toward the base moves the engaging member toward the base. A biasing force, e.g. a spring or movement of the supporting member, biases the engaging surface toward the supporting surface. 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.
