Will the weight of the radar detector eventually pull the mirror off?

The valentine is not heavy enough to cause an issue with the mirror attachment.

Have not had an issue - installed mine about a month ago and it seems rock solid. The mount is not heavy at all so the weight would come from the V1

Definitely not, the set screws hold extremely well as opposed to using your visor clip or suction cups. This is the best method to use apart from fastening with screws or bolts. This should hold up well for off-road applications as well. The only thing you have to make sure of is if you're using the mirror tap connector that you have a "common sized" Molex connected to your mirror. I bought the mirror tap for my 2012 legacy gt and the Molex ports are way too small. Still worked for a hardwire though.

No, the hardware is very robust. If you failed to install the bracket in the right position, you may eventually unsecure the radar out of the bracket when changing the mirrow from day mode to night mode or vice versa

Have had mine for 14 months and so far so good. Eventually, who knows? I just need mine to hang in there for another year or so and then the car will be gone.

I haven't had the bike fall over on the mirror yet. But my guess is it won't survive. It's held in the handlebar solidly and if it hits something hard I'm sure the plastic will break off.

no it wont,it has an insert that goes in first and expands to hold the mirror on.

I would not use this for a mirror. In fact, I would only use this for something that could safety be dropped from where it is attached, because it will be dropped.

My radar detector also has the cord on the right side and is mounted in front of the passenger seat with about a 15% slope on the dashboard. This product unbelievably holds it in place with no problems. I've only had to adjust the radar detector once in three months.

I have used this type of mirror for over twenty years, and currently have four of them in use (homes in different parts of the country). You could pull the mirror off of the helmet mount by pulling the ball out of the socket. You run the risk of breaking that socket/ball or greatly reducing the tension of the socket/ball coupling which would possibly resulting in the mirror flopping/moving during use. I HAVE NOT tried to remove and reattach any of the mirrors I have owned.

The install of the mount should not require wire cutting or taking the mirror apart. Are you also going to order a MirrorTap or similar device to power your radar detector? If so, you would need to figure out where you are going to tap into a power and ground.

We've not had a pboblem with the mirror or the operation. If you screw it into a stud, you shouldn't have a problem. My wife loves it!

No, it won't. As soon as you remove the weight, the numbers are gone. The scale is still "on", but without any number.

Same as removing and installing the radar onto the original mount but without it rattling around. Yes it removes easily. I'm happy with mine and have had it for 4 months

The mirror can be moved or you can choose not to install it. It is held in place by double sided tape.

If you fully engage the clamp on the window it will hold the weight but you must really tighten the clamp and have it all the way inserted on the window edge....otherwise it is likely to slip....it is a good mount for spotting scopes and such but a heavy camera and lens is going to test its limits.....

Based on my experience with the product I doubt it would. The radar needs a clean line of site, and you basically have to come close to hitting it to get a reading.

I specifically purchased the holder for my windshield and was most concerned about it staying there (because my radar detector is constantly falling) so I have not tried it on any other surface. Sorry I can't help you there.

Yes because it is going to use the same attachment that is use to attach the detector to the windshield. You will need to remove the suction cups and attach the windshield mount to the MirrorMount. It will work perfect.

It should hold a mirror less camera just fine. It's a great little piece of gear.

I would have to say no, due to the bracket configuration. I ended up installing mine where the detector site right under my mirror.
