Transcript

I always make sure to do this with my car mirror. Put one more rubber band on the right side. Put a piece of tape at the bottom. And one in the middle. And one at the top. Now I'm just gonna draw a line through the tape. Make sure to get all of them. And don't forget this part. Stick one of the clips at the bottom. And another one on the left side. Now peel the tape off.
