Default BlendMount Problems

In September 2013 I installed the BlendMount for my Valentine radar detector. The last 6 months the mount has started coming loose and I have had to reinstall several times. Seems the clamp screws (see items 3&6 in the picture) are coming loose and backing out. Anybody else having this problem and if so any resolution. Thanks!

Ken

Take the mount back off clean the screws with a good degreaser and then apply some blue loctite to the screws and reassemble.

Agree. The guys who designed and created the Blendmount are very proud of it and will make sure you're happy with it.
