Applying suction cups to inside of windshield...
Just got a new radar detector in and I was just wondering if it is ok to apply suction cups to the windows? On the instructions it says that some cars ie. Porsches have some kind of soft protective coating inside the windows and that this surface can be damaged by the suction cups. I have a Blendmount on the way and wanted to test out the radar before it arrives.

I have been recording video and time-lapse using my GoPro 2 Hero and the suction cup on that is incredible strong and I have not noticed any residual mark after removing it a few times. It's a vacuum cup too, that may be stronger than the type you will use for the radar?

(I had asked GoPro about it a year or so ago and they said that they didn't - yet. Just wondering if they added that option in yet). I'd like to have one in my car - just in case.
@Room4Tu - blendmount looks really neat! How are you planning to run the power cord for the detector? Is there a way to hook to the power near the mirror?

Just out of curiosity, does the GoPro2 (or the other models) have any option where it would automatically overwrite the oldest video when it reaches the storage limit? Or does the driver have to remember to delete old video?
