Made up one of these based largely on velocity vinnie's great idea. It's A5 size, double sided, laminated and fitted with a clip and velcro which can then be attached to a small piece of velcro on the rear of the mirror. It then goes in the glove box when not required.

Thanks to the Original Posters, really useful one this - I've (not very willingly!) got to leave the RX8 in a long term car park and don't trust the 19 year old kids paid to shift the cars around not to flood her..... we shall see if the sign does the job!

Glad this is being of use for you all! since ive done this and displayed it, i have NO PROBLEMS what so ever where ever ive taken it!

I even displayed it last time i went to Mazda! and the service guy was quite inpressed and said something like this should have been provided in the owners handbook! or on the back of the sun visor!!

Giving this a bump, as it was back in 2010 i created this!, and still wasnt made a sticky lol.

Ive been looking for this post for a while, as i forgot where it got stuck!

Some new members since then, and its handy for people to have this in the glove box.

Also in relation to a recent post made, when an R3 was taken for tints, and the car was shut off after 30 seconds, even though the owner stated what to do!

so BUMP!
