Windshield mounts for light bar

Has anyone had any success finding windshield mounts for a 2019 f250? I have a 54 in curved quad row light bar I have been itching to mount. I have emailed a few companies and fab shops with no response or luck. I am gonna hit up a local fab shop today to see what they say

Say no to light bars above the windshield. Just don't do it. All it's gonna do is throw glare off the hood. Get a quality single or dual row bar from Baja Designs or Rigid, mount it behind the grille or on the bumper.

ZroadZ must have something because that pic is on their site. They also have the kind that mounts pods behind the hood hinge brackets.

^^^^This is good advice^^^^ Put the light bar up there if you want the truck to look cool from the outside. Put the lights lower if you want them to be functional.

Yeah I have seen that one. I am staying away from drilling holes in the roof. I am more geared towards mounting the brackets in the door jamb

Absolutely---glare and reflected light ruin your eyes night vision. Also refracts off of all of the dust and dirt in the air that in in your direct line of sight. Pretty much useless at least for me. Mount them low.

I can concur that lights mounted at or just above the top of your windshield SUCK for actual driving use. I have a full inner edge emergency lightbar and it will go full white takedown mode (steady white, combination flood/spot) and attempting to drive with the takedowns on is miserable. Not because there's reflection on the glass, but because it reflects off of the stuff in the air and ruins your ability to see. Takedowns and similarly located lights are great for stationary use, utility use, and the like. I stick with my grill/bumper level light bars for actual use. Just some additional experience and advice, but hey everyone's truck is their own so do what ya will!
