Hi Niko,
My 3 minutes job is like this and for sure is not falling down at least right after the job. I used some grey dual tape from Lidl and I know is good based on my previous experiences.

I have the CPL filter from my Mini 0806.

Yes, I tried this a long time ago, but as I mentioned in my 1st post of DIY section, due to 0806 cpl filter being much wider and thicker with original factory CPL glass housing, I was not able to adjust lens vertical angle high enough even with thicker base-mount when mounted. Hope you know what I mean. Top part of CPL "hits" windshield and best ratio I got 25% sky vs road 75% road, which is not what me personally like. I wish to have at least 50 / 50 or best is 40 sky, 60 road. Of course can add 5mm thick "adaptor" base-mount, but that does not solve my other "requirements".Hi Niko,

As DIY job I like it. As testing on the road I cannot test because car engine problems.

The 0806 CPL lens have inside a ring around the CPL film. But I cannot take it out because I am afraid to not destroy the lens.Top part of CPL "hits" windshield and best ratio I got 25% sky vs road 75% road, which is not what me personally like.
Yeah, about vignetting I mentioned in DIY section:No need to test in the car. The result is not OK because of vignetting. The tape is adding some distance, but even without it is still some little vignetting. Maybe if the camera lens were a little more out from the case the problem disappear.

Sorry!

I used a slide in type photographic polarizing filter made the same shape as the lens housing. Gave plenty of room to use double sided tape to fit without vignetting. Works very well eliminating reflections, saturating colours and letting you see into oncoming vehicles BUT unless a vehicle was directly in front of me I could not read the registration plate. Readability dropped from 90-95% of the time to about 30% of the time. After experimenting for a few days without improvement I have now removed it, as for me, the readability of the registration plate much more important than the removal of a little bit of reflection.
