![]() Without that spring clip lever, you have to push the tongue of the mount down with your finger to create some room for the detector to slide onto it. I’m not as big of a fan of the Radar Mount’s technique. This makes it easy to mount and unmount the detector. The top of the detector bracket has a piece of metal sticking up for you to push on which drops down the tongue of the connector where the detector slides onto. With the BlendMount, they have what’s called a spring clip, which I just hinted at with pulling down the detector to get to the buttons on top. ![]() What about when you want to mount or unmount your detector? How does that work? Winner: BlendMount Mounting and Unmounting the Detector If I’m using a RD with buttons on the top of the detector such as the configuration or mute buttons, the BlendMount’s bendable mounting clip allows me to pull the detector down so I can access the buttons that would otherwise be blocked and then when I let go, it pulls the detector back up into position where I want it. I can have the RD actually touching the RVM if I want, but I hang it just a tiny bit underneath so there’s no vibration and noise from the RD hitting the RVM. Then you tighten everything down with the included hex key. You can tilt the radar detector forward and backwards from the hinge just under the RVM stem and you can slide the detector up and down to adjust how far down it hangs under your RVM. The design of the mounts are different so that makes adjustment different, but here’s how it works: Once you get the mount attached to your RVM, how easy is it to adjust the mount? Winner: BlendMount Mount Adjustment & Detector Placement The BlendMount offers extra padding and because it wraps all the way around the RVM stem, it also offers a more solid and secure mount so I definitely prefer it. ![]() Mine has been permanently scratched both on the top and bottom and I’m not particularly thrilled about it. I’m not a fan of this mount design because the teeth on the top and bottom that bite down onto your rear view mirror can wind up scratching your RVM stem. ![]()
