Almost all cars have magnetic panels on the outside unless they are made of a non-ferrous material .
I have a car. Where should I look for "magnetic panels on the outside" on mine?

For the attachment though I am not willing to drill into the body.
Fair enough.

I have thought about having a little U groove attached near the top back and then creating a clamp to hold it on.
If I go the clamp rout it would probably be built like this:
1. Bolt
2. Metal washer
...
7. Metal washer
8. nut
I'm having trouble picturing this. Bolt to the outside ...or nut?

Quote:
The nut and bolt might be replaced with something like a hood pin.
At the risk of repeating myself: Dzus fastener

I could also mount it from the inside so the air pressure will push it tighter to the car.
I'm also having trouble imagining this.
