+1 on Tech's comments.
I think the window frames are aluminum. If you are thinking of using the magnets there, they wouldn't stick. Maybe velcro???

Yes David, I was kind of thinking of adhesive velcro too. I would like something a little more permanent but without holes, but if I can't use magnets, I don't know what else? Too bad Forest River didn't leave some places in the window frame to insert one.

A couple of L brackets and a few screws would keep it in place and out of the way on the inside of the window. To me the brake lights are plenty bright enough even during the day that a third brake light is not something that I personally am interested in doing. If I thought that the brake lights needed to be brighter, I would replace the brake lights with brighter ones, ones with more LED's You can find all kinds at the Grote Automotive Products web site, those 4 inch round lights are easy to replace.

As mentioned earlier, I would want a 3rd brake light not for additional brightness but to get it higher. Same reason all other vehicles have them now.

yes, height was more the reason, not brightness. The factory lights are plenty bright, just low considering how tall many vehicles today are.
