- It all Adds Up
to mount the QMS box on the rear side window, with four
straps tying to a front door, hatchback, wheel well (fender),
and one either to the roof, or to the lower body edge. For
mini- or full-size trucks, the unit can be attached just about
anywhere along the periphery of the bed. For mid-or full-
size sedans, the trunk lid is more convenient.
The key to this part of the installation is finding a body
panel edge or “lip” that the steel hook will catch and anchor
onto well. With a little bit of exploration and ingenuity on
your part, you should be able to find the edges needed to
secure the hooks and mounting straps.
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 the metal hooks often mate
to quite well. In most cases the rubber stripping can be
replaced without affecting door/hatch closing, or proper
sealing. 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 particular vehicle. Use a
vise and large pair of pliers to do this. Try to get the angle
right the first time, as repeated bending will stress weaken
the steel.
The prospect of having a door or hatch close over the QMS
mounting straps may bother you at first, but please realize
that they are abrasion resistant, and two strips have a total
thickness of only about 4 mm, while retaining high tensile
strength.
Positioning the QMS. When mounting the QMS on vertical
glass surfaces, such as the rear side windows, the box has a
tendency to slide downward slightly over time. Mount the
QMS so that its suction cups rest at the bottom of the win-
dow, where the glass meets the window sealing strip. In this
