I hate losing mirrors! I have purchased multiple over the years. I think the reason they mounted it on the windshield is because it gives the driver a better line of sight. My father has an '08 22 ssv and I it bugs a little having all the bars to look around including the mirror mount. I have a 99 legacy with a windshield mounted mirror and it works great! It is even mounted in an walk through windshield and has never fallen off. I will look at it tonight and let you know the brand. Good luck in your search!
