Suspended mounting anchor
A suspended mounting anchor can include an anchor body configured to be disposed on a first surface of a B-pillar and a clamp member configured to be disposed on a second, opposing surface of the B-pillar. The anchor body can include one or more bosses extending from a surface of the anchor, each boss having an inner bore including a threaded portion. The clamp member can be coupled to the anchor body such that a wall of the B-pillar is disposed between the anchor body and the clamp member.

a mounting anchor comprising:
an anchor body having a first end portion, a second end portion, a central opening, and one or more bosses extending from a surface of the anchor body, each boss comprising an inner bore including a threaded portion, and
first and second clamp members, each clamp member comprising a body portion and a bendable guide member extending from the body portion;
wherein the anchor body is configured to be disposed on a first surface of a B-pillar of a vehicle; and
wherein each clamp member is configured to be disposed on a second, opposing surface of the B-pillar and coupled to the anchor body such that a wall of the B-pillar is disposed between the anchor body and the respective clamp member.
