Valentine One - where on windshield on SL

I am having a Valentine One hard wired on a '05 SL 500. The black dot area of the windshield is VERY small and this is the area that I have used to mount the other V!'s I have used on other MB's. Since this area is so small on the SL, and the V1 is rather large, how and where does one mount the V! on an SL and have it work through the windshield. ANY quick answers would be appreciated since I am getting it installed today. Thanks.

Im not sure what to tell you, but to be honest I thought you were talking about motor oil and the next oil change sticker lol, then I googled it (because hard wiring a sticker didnt make complete sense to me ) . valvoline not valentine . Good luck!

Do suction cups even work on the black dot area? They don't with the Solo cups.

The mesh area will not hold the cups for long. On my 01' E55 I replaced the cups with velcro with total success.
