Try to design your grill block to keep it from coming lose and hitting your windshield (or someone else's).
Those magnets are REALLY weak. A little bit of airflow going under the block would blow it upward easily.


If you want to stick something on your car to attach something else temporarily, you could use Velcro. Don't count on being able to remove the adhesive from your paint though, although a heat gun may help.
