Abstract
A mounting system is provided that mounts a fairing to the cab of a semi-tractor in a manner that hides the fasteners from view. The mounting system provides quicker assembly and disassembly among others. The mounting system may include anchor pins at one end section of the transition fairing, a single mounting screw at the opposite end section of the transition fairing, and one or more fasteners of the Snaploc® type at the mid-section of the transition fairing. Each of the couplings interface with a suitable corresponding bracket, etc, in order to mount the fairing to the associated surface of the vehicle.
