WTB: mount for radar detector

[threezero]

I don't know where to put this, so just picked up a passport 9500i need a rearview mirror mount for it. something like this



stem of my mirror is 0.95 inch.

I would order a new one but 80$ for a mount is ridiculous, shipping to canada 20$?

I would be interested in this also if anyone knows where they sell them locally.

Not trying to steal your thread bro.

I know this is kind of off topic but the ideal mounting location of a portable radar detector with laser detecton is in the centre bottom of the windshield just above the height of your wipers so the wipers do not obstruct. Thats the ideal location to get best readings for laser.

For cosmetic purposes I can see why this mount is popular though, but yet again sacrafice for purpose.

If the wiper obstruct that wouldn't mounting it higher up be better?

I was always told the lowest point of your windshield but just above the wiper so the wiper wouldn't obstruct.
But that theory may, be because some of the older laser radars, had the lense on the top of the unit to do 360 degree. Where as this unit I think the lense is only on the front.

9500i has front and rear lens, not sure about the side though. anyways not looking to buy anymore, broke down and just ordered from the states. damn its one expensive mount.
