    Not bad w/ the how to video amigo, but wiring up the windshield looks like “proper crap” (if that’s how ya say it in Stralia 🇦🇺) personally I’d be worried about h2O & other elements entering the clip but maybe it’s because I’m in Seattle & we deal in aquatics. Lastly u might consider filming in the garage if possible in future, the shadows & that weird stuff I don’t see often I think it’s called the sun make a wee bit tough to see what’s going on. Just a dumb Merican’s 2 cents. Cheers & thx, u did clear up a couple ?’s I had.
