Claim:
1. A method of installing a mounting device on a rib of a building surface, comprising the steps of: positioning a first projection of a mounting body of a mounting device within a first recess on a first sidewall of a first rib, wherein said mounting body comprises a first leg and a second leg that are spaced from one another in an end view of said mounting body, and wherein said first leg comprises said first projection; positioning a second projection of an insert of said mounting device within a second recess on a second sidewall of said first rib, wherein said insert and said mounting body are separate parts; executing a first moving step comprising moving said mounting body either clockwise or counterclockwise about a first reference axis in said end view of said mounting body, relative to each of said first rib and said insert of said mounting device, and with said first projection of said mounting body remaining within said first recess of said first rib throughout said first moving step, wherein said first reference axis coincides with said first projection of said mounting body and a length dimension of said mounting body; contacting said insert with said mounting body during said first moving step; executing a second moving step comprising moving said insert about said second projection of said insert and relative to said first rib; and directing at least one threaded fastener through said mounting body and into engagement with said insert to force said insert against said second sidewall of said first rib; wherein after said mounting device is in an installed configuration relative to said first rib: 1) said first leg of said mounting body is positioned alongside at least an upper portion said first sidewall of said first rib; 2) said second leg of said mounting body is positioned alongside at least an upper portion of said second sidewall of said first rib; and 3) said insert is located between said second sidewall of said first rib and said second leg of said mounting body.
