Uniden R3 visor or headliner mounting ideas for 2017 convertible
I'm thinking about getting a new radar and the Uniden R3 looks really nice.
I did not want to use the windshield suction cup that comes with it, or the blendmount that hangs under the rearview mirror. Has anyone found a way to mount it cleanly to the visor or a clip that will let it push under the headliner? I found this one at amazon that people say will work with some slight modification. LINK any ideas or suggestions welcome ! thanks!

I have these in my Camaro and GMC Canyon.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-Perman...72.m2749.l2649 They mount to the top of the windshield and work really well and are inexpensive. I do not have a convertible, but assume this would work well for your situation. Bill

Thank you for that link! That looks like a great alternative to the headliner/visor mount.
Have you had to remove one? was it a pain?

I was pretty anal about installing it in the right position. I placed some masking tape on the windshield to give me some guidance after dry fitting and to help keep it straight. I also kept it as high as possible so it didn't obscure my vision. BTW, these are a much more solid way to mount the R3 compared to the suction cups that come with the detector. Bill

cool cool - thanks again. I just purchased one of those.
I know exactly what you mean by being anal about the positioning. Even installing my toll tag stressed me out lol. I will try the masking tape to help too
