Large flag mount brackets for a car?
I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.
Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.
Far be it from me to dissuade anyone from applying the solution of 3D printing to any problem, but why not just buy one of those universal suction-cup-type flag car flag pole mounts and sticking it to the hatch itself?
Or maybe get a trailer hitch installed and use one of those flag poles that connect to a trailer hitch.
Mind you, those things I'm talking about tend to be made of steel. Definitely wouldn't want your flagpole coming off on the highway or atop a bridge and impaling someone in another vehicle.
And, I'm not sure what legal considerations there might be for this venture, so it might be best to do your research. I know in my area, if anything sticks out too far out the back of your vehicle, you're legally required to add a red piece of cloth or something. There are probably maximum lengths you may be allowed for a flag on your car.
If you insist on a 3D printed solution:
You know. Just... be careful about the whole endeavor.
Thank you, this is useful advice
Cascadia!
How large a flag are you flying? Simple window mount flag holders should work for flags up to about 18" x 12". For a bigger flag, if you have a trailer hitch installed you can get hitch mounted flag pole holders.
Nice flag, btw.
I might be ignorant here, but was this a submission for the Maine state flag referendum?
The flag in OPs post represents Cascadia, the mountain regions of the Pacific NorthWest of the US and West coast of Canada.
Ok, right continent, wrong coast. Close enough.
More info for people like me.
These kind that clip into the rolled up window work really well. You could copy this design or buy one and change the flag.
