Default JP Fusa

Ok, I purchased a medium fusa to hang from the mirror of my GS, and was all excited when I opened the packing and ran out to my car and it wont fit over my mirror, How the heck do you put it on the mirror if it wont go over it. The people over at JP told me the medium is what everyone uses, but how. Any help here would be great. Thanks

I got it from a member here on CL. Its in a JP box, had a JP buissness card in the box and yes, it has the wood thingy with the logo on one side and japanese writing on the other. There is no clasp on it. Im getting the pics off my camera as I type. When Im done Ill post pics. heres a pic I found on the JP web site. looks like they dont have the clasps either, and I dont see the wood tag either.

The only thing I can think of is to remove the mirror, or I taught myself how to tie this knot, make a smaller one to tie it to my mirror. Does anyone know how to remove the mirror? It has wires and stuff? Or I always got duct tape? Somebody help me here, Ive fallen and I cant get up.

My JP Fusa has a clasp as others have described.

I'd think you could wrap the top string around the mirror arm push the shaggy part through the inside of the top string, creating a little knot out of itself. Probably would hang quite a bit closer to the mirror and not look as good though.

EDIT one suggestion - go out and buy a small girl's braclet. Hook that around the mirror back and through the fusa.
