depreciating your vehicle’s value with unsightly
holes, scrapes, and scuffs from magnetic or other
mounting approaches.
Preparing to Mount the QMS. The suction cups form one
half of the QMS anchoring systems, the nylon straps finish
the job. Included with your QMS systems are four plastic-
coated steel hooks. The nylon straps loop through these, and
the hooks hook onto ledges to form a secure anchor point
from which the strap tension is tightened.
On most compact vehicles (especially a hatchback), mount
the QMS box on the left rear side window, with one strap
tying to the front door opening, one to the hatchback open-
ing, one to the wheel well (fender), and one either to the
roof or to the lower body edge.
Finding panel edges. Find a body panel edge or “lip” that
the steel clip will catch and anchor onto. You should be able
to find the edges needed to secure the hooks and mounting
straps.
Look under gasket: Try lifting up the rubber sealing gasket
that goes around the rear hatch and door openings.
Underneath you will find a “knife-edge” strip of metal that
may mate well with the metal hooks. In most cases the rub-
ber stripping can be reinstalled without affecting door/hatch
closing or proper sealing.
Steel hooks: The steel hooks are flexible enough that they
can be slightly bent or shaped to the proper angle to allow a
custom fit on the door/body edge of your vehicle. Use a
vise-grip and large pair of pliers: try to get the angle right
the first time because repeated bending will weaken the
steel.
