DrKevM5-- The black tape is a clever idea.
Please allow me to share a V1 mounting suggestion I received at the January 17/18th Spartanburg "Experience" that I will likely pursue -- I haven't yet found a better solution for the M5:
1) Buy a cheap factory rear view mirror replacement kit from any auto dealer;
2) throw away the mirror, or better, give it away as a special gift;
3) utilize the mounting bracket and glass adhesive kit to establish a (non-suction-cup) V1 support platform;
4) attach the V1 to the bracket in a way that preserves the swivel (alignment) action of the original mirror. Warning: This is where the use of tools and talent may be required.
Motivation: In Texas, the suction cup system doesn't stand up to Summer's heat.
Stealth: Sometimes it's difficult to see that which is in view.
