The light bar is not as big as ppl would think: it's only 8-10 inches an' 6 tall. And a distraction...no, depends on music/sounds going to it. Very cool and you should enjoy it (just go for it & buy)

It is not flashy and it is very small in size...it will not block your rear window

It's not really that large, it's big enough to be noticeable but I still have plenty of vision and I have a hatchback.

yes i had that issue but it is a simple fix. it happened on my passenger side front. it was the part of the visor at the top corner blocking the window a little. i used a file to trim the visor down a little while it was installed and it fix the problem.

Hi Alexander, Once I got used to putting it the right way round (i.e. with the lens facing away from you) it was quite easy. Sometimes putting it on the car windscreen was difficult as the window is at a very shallow angle and the iPad was pointing at the sky. What problems exactly are you having with it. Alan J

I am also looking for additional storage in my Honda Fit. Video says 40" and I measured the rear of the Fit and 40" will not cover up the break lights, but possibly will cover the window and to see out of the back so vision will be restricted. However, it seems to be the best alternative. Did you purchase? Do you have any comments? Thank you

How big is the total area? I have a 10-12' window, opens on each side. I put alarm in the middle and banged on the side window, didn't do anything, so I hit it harder and it went off. Was scared to keep hitting the glass but if window was smash it would make the alarm go off. We have to turn the alarms off in big wind storms cause they will go off from wind/gusts. Only have had to turn them off 1 time from wind. Alarms are loud.

My answer would be: No First, its dark and not fully "see through" with total clarity as tinted window since its a synthetic based fabric with tiny holes. Secondly, it needs a window with near horizontal top edge, which most front windows aren't. You "could" use it but the experience won't be great.

there should be no blind spot looking forward. The mirror is very much to the side, only a few inches from the left eye (assuming North America). It's not like a car's review view mirror, as it is actually too close to focus on the mirror itself, but the image behind is very clear. I wouldn't ride without it. FYI, if you have a conventional bike helmet with the usual glossy plastic surface, the adhesive won't usually hold unless the place you put it is flat (which never happens in my experience). I have used 60 second epoxy, roughing up the helmet shell and bracket surface a bit for adhesion, and this works great. Also, I commonly have to trim the bracket, with scissors, to fit and look the best. there should be no blind spot looking forward.

I used mine on my rear window. They also threw in a "free-be" sticker and I put that one on a mirror at home. It is not paper, it's like those family stick figure decals you see... So far it has lasted 2 years on my car, great quality and something original! I hope this helps...

It's a window sticker, it would look awkwardly placed on a bumper. If you had a darker colored car you could put it on your bumper to be visible.

The side windows are 24"wide x 16"hi. I don't know about the back window. They are not as dark as tinted windows. They diffuse the light. You can still see out, but they cut the glare and the intense sunlight.

Not well, no. I'm 5'10", and I can't put this in the seat behind me rear-facing. It will fit in the middle or behind the passenger seat, but it obstructs the view out the rear window or the right side rear window in those positions. It's possible to adjust the side mirrors to drive safely without being able to see out the right rear window (you should not be able to see the sides of your car in the side mirrors), but that's not how most people are taught to drive in the US, so it just felt uncomfortable and wrong to me.

I don't really have a glare issue, so not sure BUT, at night, the lights from cars seem to be more diffused, yet more spread out. That is, there is more lighted area in the window, as if the adhesive spreads out the light to a bigger surface area than if it was just the plain glass, but the light is softer. Hope this helps.

Since the carrier would be resting on the bumper, I'd suggest identifying the height of the carrier and then measuring from the bumper to see how high it will sit. Similar to the post regarding covering your taillights, I'd be concerned about covering your back window. Since the Fit is a pretty small vehicle compared to what others are noting, it seems to me that it could cover up most of your rear window. At any rate, this would be a safety issue that you might want to consider. I also think you'd want to be able to attach the straps to a sturdy roof rack, otherwise it may be a bit harder to install.

This actually becomes your rearview mirror. Imagine having a small mirror in your bedroom/bathroom and then putting a bigger mirror clipped right on top of it. You now have a bigger mirror without altering the original smaller mirror behind it.I hope this was helpful.

You're always going to have problems with the back flapping partially when you remove the rear window. As long as you tighten the front down (and the midbow/support with the straps), you should be fine. It's just part of the design. Another problem I ran into that I found a solution for was the two rear side windows would act like parachutes and catch air, regardless of how well they were sealed into the doors when I began my journey. I took the two rear side window panels, and had a tailor sew velcro pile tape (the fuzzy portion) onto them where they meet the Bestop door frame and then I put Self-Adhesive 2" Industrial Strength Velcro hook tape on the actual door frame to seal it. No problems with the windows billowing since then. I hope this helps.

It goes on the outside. For our car (a Kia Soul) it's too big for the window. I have it on the back of the car. If it was on the window you wouldn't be able to see through the window. We are huge Yankee fans so it doesn't matter that it's huge. We love it. We also have the Yankee logo on the other side of the back of the car. Enjoy it!
