AND it is unsightly seeing a wire come up out of the dash and to the windshield. There is also no good way short of a gob of chewing gum to get the wire to sit nicely in the molding up to the windshield.[/quote]

Dave,
Well, actually, it's not that difficult. There's a gap between the windshield and the windshield frame (vertical post) that the extended wire can easily fit in. Then just use about three 2" sections of small diameter (about 3/16" O.D.) spaced a few inches apart to keep the wire from popping out. I used clear tygon tubing shoved into the gap, and neither the wire nor the tubing is visible.
