Are there any tips how to keep the square plastic "magnifier" to stay in the rear window of my class c? I'v tried cleaning the window, wetting it and the plastic square pressing it in place per the directiioons on the packaga, but it falls off before very many days. I'v tried using clear packing tape around the edges but the heat loosens the tape and the square falls off again.
thanks for any tips.

I have had three of these and have never had a problem with them getting loose. I replaced mine because they started to yellow.
Just a thought...there is a smooth side and a rough side, the smooth side goes toward the glass.
Maybe someone else will have a solution.

Mine has been on the inside of the rear window for 4 or 5 years. Just followed package directions with no problems.

Are you sure the glass is clean?

I have never had a problem after getting the bubbles worked out.

No issues here either. Make sure "TOP" goes towards the top.

For those wanting information on how to install Fresnel rear window wide angle lens.
How to install.
* Apply the quality lens to the inside of the rear window near the bottom edge.
* Make sure window is clean, then wet it with water
* Apply smooth side of lens on the inside of window
* Remove air bubbles from the lens
* Hold firmly in place for a few seconds.
* The lens will turn crystal clear until be peeled off.

How does it work? Does it make a rear view mirror useful?

I use the rear view mirror and rear window wide angle lens to view my toad. Also helps to see when it's clear to change lanes.
