Thanks for the feedback. You are right. I had remembered about the placement
being high enough to clear the wipers, and to be pointed clearly at the
horizon, etc... but had forgotten about the tinted area. I had not even

Especially when one is planning to make a change!! (I hang my head in shame....)

Thanks again!!
