Hmmm ok... could be the toll tag is loose behind it? Nope, fixed pretty solid and holding it down while on the ripple strips doesn't stop the rattle / vibration....

Wake in the morning to find the 1 foot long steel hook I took from my parents place sitting on the windscreen right where I had left it at lunch time. I put it there so I didn't forget to take it home and I didn't have my keys with me to unlock the car....

It sat there for 100km, doing 115km/h on the freeway (Southern Highlands to Sydney) with God knows how many bends.. wouldn't have moved an inch.

Shocking memory... geeze I hate that!
Lucky it didn't start raining, would have been quite a shock seeing that a cross the windscreen and then gone..
