Abstract

An antenna-mounting device includes a mount and a quick-release clip joined with the mount. An antenna is attached to the mount. The quick-release clip includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes a first margin and a second margin which is curved so as to form a lower jaw, two spaces defined therein and two tabs which perpendicularly project from the first member so that the spaces are between the tabs. The second member includes a margin disposed above the lower jaw. A pad includes a first portion adhered to the first margin of the first member and a second portion adhered to the second member. A buckle includes two tabs which perpendicularly project from the buckle and each define a pivot point which is linked to one of the tabs of the first member, a first edge and a second edge, so that a distance between the first edge and the pivot point is less than a distance between the second edge and the pivot point. The buckle is switched between a released position and locked position. In the released position, the upper jaw is released from the lower jaw receiving a trunk lid. In the locked position, the second edges of the tabs of the buckle abut against th…
