The base member is affixed to the roof of the vehicle and preferably serves as a pivot rod elbow support which allows rotation of the pivot rod elbow with respect to the roof. The cover member has a preferably hemispherical dome shape that snappingly engages the base member so as to be rotatable therewith and receives therewithin the pivot rod elbow. Internal to the cover member are left and right guide walls which serve as crush features, as well as assistance to guiding the pivot rod therewithin.
