Get a pair of samarium-cobalt magnets and you will be able to fix  your  mother in law up there on the roof as well   :lol:

If anyone wants to try this I have some VERY strong magnets that I removed from some old machine fixtures, problem is they are that strong you can only just pull the fekers apart from eachother. They have in fact ruptured the skin and given me blood blisters when they have clamped together with ms skin between them. They are not the same size as the ones in the video but a bit of two part epoxy will do the job. You WILL need to cover them with something to protect your cars paintwork!!!

If she was up there, do you really want anything to fix her to the roof ? :lol: :lol:

Nice idea, thanks for posting.
One thing to check before you start- will your car hold the magnet? Some panels are aluminium.

Self tappers Ken! As long as you don't mind wrecking the paintwork that is.
