        I've had mine in that approximate location for about 2 Years 1 Month  
& 32000 Miles & it

seems to work out just fine. I have considered putting a Shield on it  
for S'&G'Traffic & TallDryGrass

but it is still on the ToDoList. I'll take some photos tomorrow & let  
you know when I post them.
