Clay, wax and rear de-badge at the weekend

I assume the VRS badges must be harder to remove as everyone seems to leave them on. :-) -

Despite further attempts I still can't find any suitable way to permanently attach this so I shall wait for someone else to give it a go! In the meantime, the temporary 'wedge' solution seemed perfectly okay for its first long journey. -

Legs are about 3cm long with a 3cm gap between the two. -
Additional rear view mirror - rear view!

The mirror is approximately 16x3cm. I've tried every way I can think of to position it so it is physically attached but there is either not enough space (attaching to the screen) or it obscures the rear-view mirror (on the roof lining). -

Assuming that has the lane-assist camera and such like I'd imagine that would suffer from a similar lack of room. The wedge-solution certainly isn't ideal but at least there's the benefit of there being no issues when it comes to removal. -

Don't know what spec car you have but on mine (Elegance) there is no space to attach this to the screen behind the mirror and attaching to the roof would end up obscuring the mirror. -

Not enough room to actually attach it to anything so it is just wedged in place. It does seem quite secure though and offers a good view of the back seats. -

Just bought one of these (£18.50 direct from local dealer) and can't find anyway to fit it above the mirror as shown on the Superb in one of the links above. However, it does wedge quite comfortably between the rearview mirror and the roof lining as shown in the attached pic. This is in an Elegance so not sure if there might be more room available in an S/SE spec car to allow it to be fitted properly. -
Car cut out at junction.

Did you have your seat belt on or undo it while stopped? I've had this a couple of times when I've removed my seat belt when stopped even though I've then replaced it before attempting to move again. -
And an anchor maybe?

Didn't realise anyone had. :-)

Which engine should I choose?
