    So i was using my my magnet cleaner thing to clean my inside glass and noticed a a spot i had missed so i zipped my magnet over there and it appeared that i could fit my magnet between the glass and my rock... but i was wrong and down went that rock! so the moral of this story is the next time you rearrange your own rock make sure to leave enough room to get the magnet between the glass and rock!:thumb_up:

    I've kinda done it. I epoxied a piece of bird's nest to the face of one of my rocks. For a while I would cruise by it with my scraper real slow. The other day I drove by a little too fast(nailed it). Nothing broke, but, it scared me. I'll be taking a different route next to the bird's nest from now on.
