Several of us talked over the past weeks about the Auto-mo-brella attachment for our vehicles. Well, I went to my local welding shop and purchased a piece of 2"x2" square tubing about 5 foot long and piece of inch and a half pipe about 10" long. I then took it home, broke out the old welder and in about an hour, I have what I need to support my unberella. It may not be quiet as fansy as the factory item, but it serves the same purpose for a grand total of $20.00 in materials. By the way, the 9' market unbrella that I purchased at Lowes for $59.00 works well in my new holder and the shade is GREAT
