They come daily for a few hours and just look at themselves into the glass, landing on top of car and doing there dirty stuff all over my car and carport. Help Please? Tried a fan with plastic attached making noise but they got used to that fast.

You can go verify this at any marina. If you look closely when you are out on the big lakes, you'll see this suggestion in use on the navigation bouy's as well.
Using say, 10 pound fishing line, tie it in a criss-cross pattern to obstruct the birds access to the perch in question. You see, the fishing line is too small for them to grasp and is also small enough to make it difficult to see - giving them even more difficulty in landing. Make sure it is tied so it leaves the line stretched taught, and not loosely. If it is loose, you could trap and kill the bird. I don't think you want to do that.
Be sure it does not allow them to easily land on their favorite perch or they will keep coming back.
This works! Just go to any marina in your area and ask the larger sail boat owners what they do about birds perching on the mast or other surfaces, and dumping their crap all over their pretty and very expensive boat.

Try a big plastic Owl. You can get them at garden centers... you will have to move him around though so they don't get used to him.
Hope this helps,

You can do the same thing as with the owl but use a few crows.

Get a cat. It works for me and it keeps the mice away too.
