Default Flag(s)

hey, so i was at my sisters work (halloween store) and i saw the little window mounted flags on for a buck, so i bought 2. i then went home and realized that i have no windows to put them on (i have a 2 door). so i tried the rear window, got them on but they were on an extreme forward angle and the flag just crumpled up at speed. i can't find anywere else to put them except for in the side triangle windows, but they hit the body and i dont want them to scratch.

anyways, i love the look of flags on vehicles so i was wondering if anyone had, or knew of a product that will mount a flag (or two) on my vehicle; or of a way that will protect my paint if i use the window ones.

thanks guys!

yes. they are called zip ties. i assume you have a carge carrier on top of you ride still....
dykes to nip the window clips. lean them up against the (i think) q towers (the up and downy bits) and drop two zip ties on her. hit em high, and hit em low. Now your freak flag flies. flies higher, and unless you are bajaing through trees or blasting down the freeway at 105 mphs, they should hold up for what they are.

you can do the same with a larger flag off your spare carrier.. hell the antenna will hold up to a light flag.

Yeah, I agree. Why not zip tie them onto the roof rack?

i used the triangle windows once if you are careful how you mount them the shouldnt scratch the paint however the wind noise is annoying as hell. but zip ties on the roof rack should work very well.
