I have two of these that I got at the Sporty's mothership on a trip to see the inlaws. They are way cheap, and when you don't need them your canpy is completely unobstructed.
Caveat: I need to go to the hangar to look at mine, as I think mine are larger, and have 4 suction cups.
Anyway, for $7.00 ea, order 3-4!

I tried the static things, and they didn't stay in place very well. Been using the suction cup ones for a while now, and they are much better (cheap and available at lots of places - check the auto parts stores as well). Hard for me to spring for the Koger at the price they are asking.
