Safe way to stick my parking pass on the dashboard ?

My workplace is moving this week, which means I had to hunt and find a new parking lot where I can pay monthly and not have to worry about finding an available spot on the street (and worry about idiots who will damage the car).

Anyway, the new parking lot requires I have my parking pass visible inside the car at all times, which is basically a business card that changes every month. For a reason unknown to me, they stick the passes to a magnetic strip (looks like a fridge magnet with a business card glued to it). It doesn't make any sense since there' no metal in today's dashes, and I definitely won't stick that OUTSIDE the car.

At first I thought about sticking a bunch of metal washers together with glue, and sticking that to the dash. That would make changing the badge easy since it is magnetic. But I don't really want to apply any kind of glue, even temporary ones, to my dash, in fear it may damage it or leave traces in the long run.

Any idea how you would affix such a bade in a way that is easy to change every month and won't move all around when I drive ?

Thanks !

Use clear masking tape and place it on the windshield behind the rearview mirror, visible from the outside, but unobtrusive from the inside. Just a thought.

You know that tiny triangular window to the left of your steering wheel, wedge it between the window and the side of the dash. I have a parking pass for school and thats where I put mine.

Poke a hole in it, loop some string through it, and hang it from the rearview mirror. Remove and toss in door pocket when not in lot.
