Abstract
An attachment assembly provides quick attachment of an automotive antenna unit or other object to the exterior of a vehicle. A single worker is able to install the antenna unit or other object with one downward push from the exterior without the need for tools. The attachment assembly also includes an anti-rotation feature to prevent rotation. The attachment assembly can only be removed from the interior, rendering the attachment assembly tamper resistant from the exterior. The attachment assembly can also be mounted on vehicles with various panel thicknesses.
