Patent ID: 11180091

Abstract:
A pedestal for mounting an accessory onto a vehicle surface has a hollow core body with an oblong first slot at a top end for receiving a fastener therethrough and an oblong second slot within for holding a nut and engaging the fastener. The fastener and nut are linearly adjustable in a first direction along the slots for ease of aligning the accessory's mounting hole with the pedestal and fastener, so as to secure the accessory to the pedestal's top end with the fastener. The body may also have wider oblong slots and additional side body slits for fitting an elongate bar nut, to provide greater adjustability in a second direction within the pedestal for enhanced two dimensional alignment of the accessory with the pedestal and fastener. A skirt and adhesive pad at the bottom end of the body securely bond the pedestal, and hence the accessory, to the vehicle surface.
