Technical information

the vehicle surface free from blemishes or pene-
trations (does not detract from your car’s resale
value). When you need to move or remove the
system, it leaves behind no rusted holes that
require body work or repainting. Many people
have multi-car families—it’s reassuring to know
you can switch systems between vehicles when-
ever your requirements change.
High adhesion strength results from the large sur-
face area and high vacuum obtained from the
quality suction cups. (Climbers scale buildings and
workers carry plate glass using similar high-qual-
ity, commercial suction devices.
Safely absorbs vibration and cyclic loads while dri-
ving. The silicone content of the cups absorbs the
stress and strains imparted by impact with road
bumps and potholes that causes premature failure
of nuts, bolts, or sheet metal screws used in con-
ventional systems. This principle applies in mili-
tary and commercial installation through the use
of “shock mounts.” The large size of the box and
spacing of the suction cup/feet spread these
forces out over a larger surface area for maximum
safety and strength.
Noise insulation : the suction cups dampen the
noise and vibration from the QMS box and anten-
na that would otherwise be conducted to the
vehicle body through mechanical joints, affording
quieter operation.
• The tie-down strap and suction cups work hand-in-
hand as a constant-tension system. The tie-down
strap tension keeps the cups compressed so their
vacuum holds the QMS in place; the flexibility
