Abstract
A vehicle-roof mounting-base, for supporting sign or light elements, that uses vacuum evacuation to adhere the vehicle-roof mounting-base to a vehicle roof. The vacuum evacuation is accomplished by using a continuous, gas impermeable seal between the lower surface of the vehicle-roof mounting-base and the vehicle roof. A vacuum pump then partially evacuates the volume enclosed by the continuous seal, the vehicle roof, and the lower surface of the vehicle-roof mounting-base, providing sufficient retention force to hold the vehicle-roof mounting-base to the vehicle roof.
