Ooooooh. That's a good idea. So simple. I just now raised the light inside the cabin several inches. It's an ugly deal, but you can't see it through the black tint very much. Yours is a better deal. If you had 10mm coroplast you could maybe thread the wire through its lengthwise voids. 10mm coroplast would be stronger material in the wind too. I think even the 4mm will get bent-up over time. If I do this, I might double-up.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
