Abstract: A window covering is configured for attachment to a window frame of a vehicle to cover an opening defined in the window frame. The window covering includes a casing, a panel, a first magnet, and a second magnet. The casing includes a first member and a second member. The casing includes a ferromagnetic material. The panel is attached to first and second members and covers the hole. The first magnet and second magnet are magnetically attached to the respective first member and second member. The first and second magnets are configured to be magnetically attached to the window frame. The magnets are permanent magnets. Each magnet is configured to exert a pull force sufficient to retain the window covering to the window frame of the vehicle such that the casing of the window covering does not move relative to the window frame during motion of the vehicle.

Abstract: A mounting system for mounting an accessory to a body panel of a vehicle includes a bezel and a bracket. The accessory is attached to at least one of the bezel and the bracket. The bezel is precisely formed to match a three dimensional shape of an exterior surface of the body panel. The bracket is precisely formed to match a three dimensional shape of an interior surface of the body panel. The bezel is inserted into an opening cut into the body panel from an exterior of the body panel, and the bracket is positioned adjacent the bezel from an interior of the body panel. A fastener connects the bracket to the bezel, or connects the bracket to the accessory which is attached to the bezel, with the body panel positioned therebetween, to secure the mounting system relative to the body panel.
