Abstract
A universal mounting bracket for mounting vehicle accessories to a vehicle includes a U-shaped body having a downwardly extending tang projecting centrally from the base. The sides of the body include lateral, outwardly projecting flanges which extend in a longitudinal direction with respect to the vehicle when installed. A console is mounted to a vehicle using a pair of such universal mounting brackets. The console includes an upwardly extending first lip which rests upon the tang of one of a pair of spaced mounting brackets. A pair of inwardly projecting lips, spaced from the first lip, snap-fit over the lateral flanges which are sufficiently resilient to accommodate the snap-fitting of the console thereover.
