Would it make sense to make a little wedge about the size of the mobius, and attach it between your headliner and the mobius? You could adjust the vertical angle required for the wedge prior to mounting to determine the correct slope of the wedge.
I've already considered this option. The problem is that the headlining is contoured, and not parallel with the horizon. The camber of the road is also a factor.
Many would say it doesn't matter if the video is a few degrees off from the horizontal axis? Unfortunately, I do care, and a mount with a ball joint makes it so easy to aim the camera to my preference.
On the downside, the Mobius is no longer as well hidden as it was before.
I suppose that a suitably profiled asymetric wedge could provide the desired aim in both the vertical and the horizontal. With my limited fabrication skills, it may be a while before I make one that gets the angles right.
