Windshield prism TAPE

Looking thru the convertible threads, I thought I saw an article on a prism TAPE to aid is viewing traffic lights from a convertible. Looked and searched with no luck. Anyone used one, or know where they are located?? Ebay only lists some type of plastic stickup spoon device. Looks very tacky.

Also available thru Way Motor Works
MINIUSA should include this as a necessary piece of equipment on the order of steering wheel and headlights.

Thanks for the Help.
'Brick', I agree, at 6'2", I have to standoff, about 1/4 mile from traffic lights to watch for a change with the top up. Kind of annoys other drivers.....

Your only other option is to pull up to the white paint, lean way over to see the light and look like a total dork. Order the prism.
PS: 6' 1" here.

Yup the Light in sight is what you need. Easy to install and move if you want to swap it around.

Ordered 2 of them. Don't want to cause my wife inconvenience when she is trying to tell me when to "Stop", "Go", 'Move Forward', or any of all those other hints she constantly supplies. Do not know how I was able to fly a commercial A/C for 30+ years without her assistance. At least if I am nice to her, she lets me drive "My" mini (she wanted a V.W., UGH).

Great! No more looking like a dork though there's still a slight resemblance to a clown.
