I found some mounts on www.countryjoycrafts.com for Escort and Valentine radar detectors. I don't know if they will work if you are staying with the old mirror (prior to TSB)? I just looked and there looks like there is some type of plastic ring over the stem currently. I was wondering if that stem gets removed to mount the hardware? If anyone has any info please help out? Anyone know what size stem we have also? I currently am using an Escort 9500ix with Stealthcord and suction cup mounts. I hate that the suction cups come undone every so often.
I've had my 9500ix mounted with a countryjoycraft mount for several months and it works great. To answer your questions, you do need to remove the plastic ring that is over the stem (on the old mirror). Also, you need to order the 3/4" mount... that is the one that fits our mirror stem. Here is my setup.

After finding out about the blendmount in this thread I ordered one, it came in two days and I installed it in maybe 10 minutes!
Result is great! No more rattle against the windshield. The only drawback is that it seem to take a little longer to acquire GPS satellites.
timeToy, is that the new mirror in the F (did you have it changed from the factory/original mirror?) Did you have to remove anything on the mirror to install it like VSL-F had too?

It is not the new mirror, I just had to remove the little plastic clip that hold the wires, nothing major.
