1. A method of mounting a display panel on a rear windshield wiper assembly of an automotive vehicle, said wiper assembly including a motor, a motor-shaft, and wiper arm, comprising:

  • providing a display panel, said display panel having a first side for presentation of at least one of text and graphics and a second side for positioning a display-connector;

    providing a mounting-connector, said mounting-connector usable for affixing said display panel to a connection position on said wiper assembly, said mounting-connector configured with a first assembly-connector and a second assembly-connector, said first assembly-connector for connecting said mounting-connector to said connection position on said wiper assembly, and said second assembly-connector for connecting said mounting-connector to said display-connector;

    wherein said mounting connector is connectable to one of said motor shaft or said wiper arm, and maintains said display panel in one of a fixed or rotational orientation relative to said wiper arm;

    wherein said mounting connector is configurable to maintain said first side of said display panel in a substantially vertical orientation relative to the ground during rotation of said motor shaft;

    wherein said second assembly-connector and said display-connector are configured to link together by inserting one into at least a portion of the other, substantially preventing separation of said display panel from said mounting-connector during motion of said automotive vehicle and motion of said wiper arm of said wiper assembly, andwherein said first assembly-connector is configured to clasp said connection position on said wiper assembly and maintain sufficient pressure to avoid disconnecting as a result of airflow pressure on said display panel during vehicular motion or said motor-shaft rotation.
