Years ago, I mounted a Fox radar/laser detector above the inside mirror on
the pass. side, just below the roof line. A std suction cup bracket, with
the rubber cups removed, simly slips in between the windshield trim & roof so
no drilling holes. On a low car such as the Pantera, the higher the
mounting, the longer the detection range. Later, I hard-wired it to the fuse panel
so there were no dangling cords and it comes on with the ignition so no
forgetting to turn it on. In this position, it takes up no useable windshield
space- as verified by one policeman. Sometimes cops will use 'obstruction of
the windshield'- a safety violation- as a means of penalizing you for daring
to use one. Some detectors may be too bulky to fit up there. FWIW- J DeRyke
