Abstract
A mounting assembly includes a first plate which is welded to the underside of a trough which channels fluid around the trunk opening of an automotive vehicle. The first plate includes two pockets and two extensions. A second plate, having two blades, is securable to the first plate by inserting the blades into the pockets and screwing the second plate to the first plate at the extensions thereof. Because the extensions extend out beyond the trough, the second plate is secured to the trough without altering the trough. An electrical unit depends from the second plate using two L-shaped brackets which lock to the second plate. The first plate takes up little space when the electrical unit and the second plate are removed therefrom.
