I should have explained that that's what I want to avoid. I boogered
it. Sorry Dave.

I took the out-the-window approach a couple years ago and got whacked
by somebody in a van who came very close to side-swiping me. Shoved the
rod back into my upholstery and dinged it and I almost lost my
passenger-side mirror. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and car-top
the full-length versions Tnx.
