Transcript

I can't believe I didn't know this about car mirrors. So I'm gonna stick one more rubber band on there. Now I'm gonna start by putting some masking tape on the right side, one in the middle, and one on the left side. This part is really important. We're gonna slowly go down each of the pieces of tape. Most people don't know about this part. And now take one clip and put it at the bottom. Put another one at the top. Now check it out. Okay, this is the most important part. Take a hair clip, stick it at the top.
