Windshield adhesive

[SandEagle]

I need to mount a radar detector to a winshield. All the adhesive and tape I got so far keep coming off. what is the strongest windshield adhesive that i can buy? i dont care if its permanent.

The stock suction cups that came with my Valentine One hasn't budged in over a year.
I just cleaned the cups and area of the windshield with Invisble Glass before slapping the thing together.
Worked fine for the Whistler and GPS in my Cavalier as well.

What about a mirror mount? I was using one from http://www.countryjoycrafts.com/ConnectorForRadarDetector.htm until I decided I no longer needed the radar detector.

lol, actually you need to apply pressure, if you just stuck it on and then put w/e you want to stick on it. Then thats why it fell. Hold pressure down for 30sec+ then it should stick well.

Yea and if the glass is dirty nothing is going to stick lol

This stuff is good.

Also if you have a Home Depot close to you, they have Gorilla Glue adhesive tape as well.

3M VHB is what you need, not the regular stuff. Very High Bonding.

hmm, i cant seem to find this to order anywhere. i see some vhb stuff on the 3m site, but theres a few different kinds and they come in packs of 12 only

my escort mount sucks. For that i haven't used my radar in a couple of months.

gorilla glue is almost like super glue but a slower cure time.

Can't you figure out a way to attach it with suction cups? They hold very securely and don't leave any mess behind when you want to take it off.

The red stuff is stronger than the white but not as good as vhb.

They have recently banned radar detectors here

We were the holdout State for so long too

I use my stock suction cup mount on my detector, but sit it on the dash so it isn't holding any weight. Not the optimal location, but it still picks up stuff and it never moves.
