it is the Great Lakes Trophies mount. The pics at the cf store site are the same as the pics on the docs that came w/my GL mount that I ordered from Zip products. email GL and ask them for the new mounting adhesive. I did, they sent it as promised, and it works beautifully in SoCal heat.

Stick on. Works well with the hardwiring pigtail available from a forum member.
I have had mine for a couple months.
Some forum members had a problem with the adhesive not holding adequately, I am pretty sure that is old news and that Great Lakes has gone to a different adhesive source.
I buy direct from Great Lakes Trophy.

O.k. I get it, it mounts to the visor bracket. I thought it just clipped onto the visor itself. Thanks, that does sound better.

If you are going to hardwire it to the passenger visor, be aware of a couple minor issues....
You will need to get the Valentine 1 Quick Connect Mirror Power Cord longer than the standard, which is 8 or 9 inches i think. It is about 2 inches too short to hardwire from the mirror connection point to the passenger visor mount location. I believe teambiker@yahoo.com also stocks the 12" cord, or can make it for you, if you decide on the passenger visor location.
Second, IF you have onstar, the Valentine 1 will be up against the "onstar black box" at the top of the windshield.
I purchased both mounts, ended up using the mirror mount and have had no adhesive delamination problems, even on days when parking in the sun and the Valentine was almost too hot to toucn.
I did not want to use the driver side visor mount location.

Mounted this way, you can still use the visor. When the visor is flipped down, though, the radar detector can't "see" to the rear.
This plus the team biker direct connect works great for me. If you want to use the visor mount on the passenger side, make sure you let team biker know, as the cord will need to be a few inches longer than for the mirror mount or for the visor mount on the driver's side (which is where I have mine).

I think some people put it on the passenger side so it is more out of the way.
