An accessory attachment method includes receiving a plurality of feet of an accessory within a plurality of apertures, wherein each foot is moveable within a corresponding aperture in multiple engagement directions, and sliding an accessory relative to a baseplate in a selected one of the multiple engagement directions to transition the accessory from a disengaged position to an engaged position. When in the disengaged position, the plurality of feet are slidable relative to the baseplate within respective apertures in a plurality of directions and can be withdrawn from the plurality of apertures. When in the engaged position, the plurality of feet are blocked from being withdrawn from the plurality of apertures, and the accessory is engaged with the baseplate to secure the accessory relative to a vehicle when the accessory is in the engaged position, the baseplate being secured to the vehicle. A biasing device is used to transition a locking assembly from an unlocked position to a locked position, the locking assembly in the locked position holding the accessory in the engaged position.
