    I went high on my topper above the third brake lights for that reason. If its lower headlights blind it. Plus higher allows me to see a few cars back if needed case the view can go over the car first in line behind me.
    If I need to back into a spot I just drag on the screen to pan the view down and I can see nearly to where my rear bumper is.
    (Swipe left/right changes the cameras, slide up/down moves the camera picture view. I didn't know about this for a long time.)

    I installed and tested out the Wolfbox mount that @biggestchungus created and sent me (thank you!). I have a Wolfbox 930 and a 1996 Taco with a mirror/dome light assembly I transplanted from an older 4Runner a while back. Bravo @biggestchungus! It's really nice. A few thoughts:

    POSITIVES:
    Looks great, easy install, fits my WB 930 perfectly, but best of all, *my visors clear the display*! See the pictures below. Also, because of my almost-60 year old eyesight, a side benefit is that the extra distance from my eyes to the display helps me see it more clearly :)

    ISSUES (or potential issue):
    The pivot / ball needed epoxy or superglue to keep it from moving. This is no big deal, but eventually, I will wack the display as I inevitably do to my rear view mirrors in the course of things. I wonder what will happen. Will it break the mount or...? I wish there was another way to tighten that ball joint.

    Note: this mount is *only for the 930 model*. It won't fit others as far as I know.

    looks great! Go ahead and break it. Ill fix the weak spot and send you another. Not sure what to do about the ball joint maybe I can make room for a lockable one like this.[​IMG]

    Awesome! you can shoot me a PM and I can start your print or wait till I have the ball mount updated. It may be a while as I work a-lot. Also debating making a version for the 12" wolfboxes. someone will need to share dimensions with me though.

    I can help with dimensions on a 12" G840S. With how close your 10" is to the sunvisors I have a feeling it won't be possible to clear with a 12", but I can help be the test mule there
    Also, do you know if the mounting is the same on non-dome light rear view mirrors?

    Yes with 12" It would be too much. Its almost a perfect fit with the smaller one. Best a mount will do is shift it back to allow you to lower the visors a bit more. Mounting is the same on the no light version. I have both and made sure. Also you should go nab yourself a map light at a junkyard like i did! Let me PM you with a drawing of dimensions I need.

    It’ll be awhile for me too. Have to research which model I’d purchase.
