I put mine as high as I could on the inside to match the magnets in the sunscreen. Not on the outside.

For our Aria, I wanted the full shade to help keep the electronics cabinet cooler and didn't want the outside magnets. I removed the sun and night shades and pulled the panel they mount to down. I did not have to remove the fans as the wires are quite long. Then mounted the magnets. Love the magna shade. When we had our first broken windshield I had the guys at the shop replace the magnets on the windshield before they put it in. They did ok but they did not get them out to the edges and the shade never was as tight. When we broke our second windshield, I again pulled the shades and panel and did it myself. It went quicker and easier the second time and I am much happier with the fit.
