Abstract
A universal system for mounting lightbars on any vehicle's roof curvature without the need for changing parts in the mounting. The mounting system comprises two mounting assemblies. Each assembly has a first bracket attached to the roof, particularly in the gutter or door jamb, which runs along the edge of the roof, a second bracket attached to the underside of the lightbar, and a third bracket coupled to said first bracket by a flexible strip or strap. The third bracket is movable laterally with respect to the second bracket to a fixed position to stretch the strip so that it lies flush upon the roof. Two of the mounting assemblies are attached to the lightbar at opposite ends thereof for mounting the lightbar along the right and left sides of the roof of a vehicle.
