    The windshield has dots right by the rearview that I'm guessing is the defroster. Any issues with mounting something over it? I just want to make sure it doesn't damage the defroster.

    It's not a defroster. I believe it is there to just block out some of the sun. You can put a suction cup over it without any problem. However, you may find it difficult to stick.

    What he said.
    The dots are a sun shade of sorts.
    The suction cups I have tried do NOT stick.
