Request: DIY camera mounting

RCZ, thanks for your input !... I might be willing to give it a shot, but 2 things give me pause

1) mounting location ? I'd like to have it forward looking with steering wheel and gauges in view... so can't mount on front glass or passenger side glass... would have to mount on rear glass... would that be positioned too far back in the car ? would it turn into a missile during braking ?

2) i'm familiar with the industrial style suction cups that glass install guys use - i realize how strong they are.... but i'm still concerned that during a 30 minute run, car slamming back and forth, rumble strips, etc, it could shake lose... would much prefer to mount on the cross-member
