Abstract

A holding device adapted to be secured along a side edge of a windshield panel to be releasably secured to a post of a recreational vehicle support frame is provided. The holding device being of a generally U-shaped configuration. This holding device comprises a base wall which defines a lateral direction and a first side wall extending outwardly from the base wall. The first side wall defines an outer end and has a slot formed therein which extends from the outer end inwardly a substantial portion of the distance to the base wall. The slot is sized and configured to receive an edge portion of a windshield panel therein. The holding device further comprises an opposite side wall extending outwardly from the base wall so as to laterally oppose the first side wall and define a post receiving chamber therebetween. The holding device is preferably formed of a material having sufficient flexibility so as to permit the opposite side wall to be flexed laterally away from the first side wall and thereby permit a post to enter and be removed from the chamber in a generally lateral direction. The base wall, first side wall and opposite side wall are preferably integrally formed of an elastomeric material. The holding device can, according to the present invention, include an extension which extends laterally beyond the opposite side wall so as to facilitate manual flexing of the opposite side wall away from the first side wall.
