Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
While we're on the topic of using body fluids, I've found that spit can freeze and then the suction fails.
Leading evidence: 'Use body fluids, i've found' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use body fluids, i've found' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Another option is to use the oil from your forehead or the side of your nose which works down to a lower temperature.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It's getting cold in Min-E-SOOO-Ta
All this talk about winter tires brings up another question--Every time today I touched the buttons on my detector it fell off the windshield. Any suggestions? Not a big fan of visor mounts, but might be my only choice.
I think in winter the suction cups don't hold a vacuum as well because they get stiff and air leaks around the edges. They also get stiff with age. You might try getting new suction cups. Another thing that works is putting a thin film of vaseline on the inside of the suction cup to help it hold a vacuum.
I've put a strip of velcro on the dash and then a piece under the detector to hold it secure. Also allows for a quick dismount when Mr. Law Enforcement stops you.
No.
You got some sort of "hot glue" fetish you need to get out your system before the big 4 0 ?
Thanks. What about Lutsen? Just need a face mask and super sharp skis.
I stuck it in a vise ( wooden so it wouldn't get scratched ) and bent it. Bend the U-shape straight and close it up a bit. Look closely at the second pic. Then I added a small piece of foam, held in by pressure, to keep it tight under the headliner.
OK, Poll for all you experts . . .
1: Epoxy to windshield
2: Hot melt to windshield or to optional leather and wood dash
3: Small hole drilled (dental diamond burs work best) through windshield
4: Really elegant solution from Rob in WA (the neatest one yet--and I have looked a lot) [thanks--you should post this over at 6speedonline if you haven't already)
Call me nuts, but I just hit the windshield with the defroster to warm it up, then lick the suction cups to get them to stick to the glass. Never had a problem down to -10F or so, but it might depend on your detector--I use a V1 and the suction cup system seems better than most.
Holy crap don't drill a hole in the winshield.
It doesn't work as well in winter because the air is dry. Either do the custom headliner mount, or what tooloud said.
Nice! While we're on the topic of using body fluids, I've found that spit can freeze and then the suction fails. Another option is to use the oil from your forehead or the side of your nose which works down to a lower temperature.
BTW, don't use these tricks on a date, unless you are trying to avoid a second date. On the other hand, if you date has oily skin, maybe you can ask her for some nose grease. Heh, heh, heh. My wife is forever scraping the back of the radar detector across my face while I'm driving.
