- Heavyweight non skid base
- The mounting attachment can also be used on the windshield
Product Description
This is a unique mounting kit. Use it on your dash or on the windshield.
Excellent for those not wanting to stick anything on the dash. This mount combines the best of a suction based base and a non skid heavyweight dash. Weighing almost 3 pounds, this mount doesn’t use glue and isn’t going to move once you have it in place. The heavy dash base features a smooth surface so that the suction mount can adhere directly just like on the windshield.
Wanna travel and not lug the heavy mount? No problem, the suction based mount can be removed to use on the windshield of your rental vehicle or just use on a second car.

I bought this product to keep my radar detector out of the way of my sunshade and off my windshield. Not to mention it works and looks better than expected! The beanbag base is a little bulky but has enough weight to keep it from sliding during normal driving. I would suspect tho, like anything, if you are going fast enough around a corner it will slide like anything would. The beanbag base is rubber coated to give it that extra gripping power. The actual mechanism that holds the radar detector is made of heavy duty plastic and seems very sturdy. Velcro and double sided tape are included to mount the radar detector to the stand so it is your choice which one you use. The holder can also be move foward or backward on a slant to level the radar detector. So as you can see this is a quality product that seems like it will last for years. I am very impressed with it and would reccomend it to anyone who doesnt want to mount their radar detector on their windshield.

Bought 1 then another. Beanbag somewhat large but detectors kept falling off windshield during cold months.

Simple design and set up. Works very well, doesn’t slide around. It is so much better than my windshield mount that came with the Passport.

I purchased this unit when I discovered that it is illegal to have a radar detector hanging on your windshield in California. Not illegal to have the detector, mind you, just to have it mounted on your windshield.
I am totally satisfied with this unit. I am using it in a Toyota Tacoma, and it is stable under most driving conditions and does not slide around as I feared it might. It has the added advantage of not rattling, which my detector did when mounted with suction cups. I have tested it with some spirited driving on the mountain roads and have not had any problems, your mileage may vary depending on how you define spirited.
It is also a snap to move the unit if you want it out of sight, or to set on the floor if you are in a situation where you don’t want/need a radar detector. ( Off road, for example)
This unit is worth the price just to get suction cups out of your life. I highly recommend it.

This is what I’ve been waiting for. This mount places the unit at the perfect height and leaves no marks on the windshield or dashboard. It holds steady and does not slide. Works as advertised!! I wish I had bought this unit long ago. Easy to hide and set up and works perfectly. If you’ve got a radar detector do yourself a favor and buy this unit. It’s worth every penny!
