Is it like this? This is probably larger than you would use on a windscreen. Works great for backing up and trailer work on my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is applied with water and pull to remove. Fresnel lens.

Fresnel lens. Must be pretty bright.

You used to see those grounding straps sticking up from the ground as you approached toll booths. It kept the attendant from getting zapped.

I think bringing back those parking feelers would be a real aid to many of the newer generations who just cannot park without driving over curbs.

They can if they own a self parking vehicle. Very cool stuff and some I have never seen. Thanks for sharing.

I think my wife's car has that. I don't think she has ever used it.
