A mounting apparatus for mounting a cover member to a surface of a vehicle comprising: a holding member (6,7) extending in a first direction and a second direction and having a first magnet receiving portion and a second magnet receiving portion; a cover member that at least partially covers the holding member (6,7); a first magnet positioned in the first magnet receiving portion; and a second magnet positioned in the second magnet receiving portion; wherein the first and second magnets (206,208) are configured for removably fixing the holding member (6,7) on the surface of the vehicle through magnetic attraction force in interaction with the surface of the vehicle; wherein the holding member (6,7) has a boundary portion flexibly connecting the first magnet receiving portion to the second magnet receiving portion at respective facing ends of the first and second magnet receiving portions (200,202); the cover member is connected to the boundary portion such that, when the cover member is pulled in a third direction at an angle to the first and second directions while the mounting apparatus is attached to the surface, the boundary portion is lifted from the surface and each of the facing ends of the first magnet receiving portion and the second magnet receiving portion is lifted from the surface prior to opposite ends of the first magnet receiving portion and the second magnet receiving portion being lifted from the surface; characterized by a tension member that is positioned between the holding member (6,7) and the cover member and that is configured to provide a resetting force to the holding member (6,7) in a direction away from the cover member when the boundary portion is lifted from the surface. a holding member (6,7) extending in a first direction and a second direction and having a first magnet receiving portion and a second magnet receiving portion; a cover member that at least partially covers the holding member (6,7); a first magnet positioned in the first magnet receiving portion; and a second magnet positioned in the second magnet receiving portion; wherein the first and second magnets (206,208) are configured for removably fixing the holding member (6,7) on the surface of the vehicle through magnetic attraction force in interaction with the surface of the vehicle; wherein the holding member (6,7) has a boundary portion flexibly connecting the first magnet receiving portion to the second magnet receiving portion at respective facing ends of the first and second magnet receiving portions (200,202); the cover member is connected to the boundary portion such that, when the cover member is pulled in a third direction at an angle to the first and second directions while the mounting apparatus is attached to the surface, the boundary portion is lifted from the surface and each of the facing ends of the first magnet receiving portion and the second magnet receiving portion is lifted from the surface prior to opposite ends of the first magnet receiving portion and the second magnet receiving portion being lifted from the surface; characterized by a tension member that is positioned between the holding member (6,7) and the cover member and that is configured to provide a resetting force to the holding member (6,7) in a direction away from the cover member when the boundary portion is lifted from the surface.
