Abstract
A mounting system comprises a mount, a latch, an engaging member, a pin and a plate. The mount is mounted to a vehicle, defines a lateral axis and has a first portion of an object mounted thereto, for pivotal movement of the object about the axis to a design position, whereat the latch, which is connected to a second portion of the object, selectively engages with the engaging member, which is mounted on said vehicle. The plate presents a slot and, on opposite longitudinal sides of the slot, a pair of contiguous sockets. The pin is connected to the second portion and travels into the slot to a closed end of the slot during movement of the object to its design position. The sockets permit, through deformation of the object, longitudinal movement of the pin thereinto to a rearward limit position and a frontward limit position, respectively.
