The instructions with my X50 Escort recommends mounting it so the back of the unit "touches the windshield". This would most certainly rattle rattle when hitting bumpy roads - is it really necessary? I will call the factory tomorrow to ask, but, thought someone would have an opinion first. TIA

 

doesn't need to touch. Although, you may need to play with the best mounting angle to minimze rattles.

 

Thanks, Jastor - didn't make any sense to me - I will play with the location tomorrow. Now, off to the Interstate to find RADAR!!

 

You should find it before it finds you now ... the X50 is great!
