ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for an automobile cover containment housing wherein the housing includes a channel extending along a longitudinal axis thereof. A pair of mounting clips are slidably anchored in the channel of the containment housing. The mounting clips have a base at a first end for slidable travel in the channel and have a land section extending from said base with a slot formed therein. A flexible strap is attached to the slotted end of each of the mounting clips. Each of the straps are fitted with a detachable clip at the other end. A pair of permanent mounting clips are adapted to be attached within the trunk compartment of the automobile, preferably along the rear wall thereof to receive the detachable clips carried by the straps. The length of each strap is adjusted to permit the containment housing to rest adjacent the trunk opening with the outer edges of the mounting clips positioned along the outer edge of the trunk. When the trunk lid is closed, the flexible straps are covered thereby and surface portions of the land sections of the mounting clips are snugly engaged by the trunk lid. After the cover is removed from the automobile and reeled within the containment housing, the trunk lid is raised and the housing is swung into the trunk for storage purposes or the housing can be removed from the automobile by unsnapping the two detachable clips.
