What It Answers at the Counter
The mount comes off with the same socket set that put it on, and the roof underneath is still factory. A drilled roof has to be patched, sanded, primed and painted before the vehicle can be turned in. That is body shop money the customer never planned to spend.
Good. Vantage ships blank. There are no pre-cut openings, so your installer cuts to the exact light, camera or antenna being fitted. You are never asking a fleet to change lighting to suit a mount.
Same part numbers, same install, same result on every unit. A repeatable 30 minute job across the fleet instead of a shop morning per vehicle.
