Blendmount
I brought a blendmount Valentine 1 for my c7 a couple of weeks ago and did the direct power via fuse box...my complaint is the rattle , not the mount to the rear mirror but the arm to the radar....the noise is almost unbearable. I tried everything from tape to rubber pieces to reduce the rattle, but nothing works, and I'm thinking about buying a sticky cup....is it just me or is anyone else has this annoying rattle?

I had a similar issue with my Blendmount and Passport 9500ix. After trying several methods to eliminate any slop in the 9500's mounting to the Blendmount itself, it turned out it was the case of the 9500 itself!
I found one one of the internal tabs that allows the case halves to snap together had broken, allowing them to rub together. I used a little hot melt (on the inside) to fix it while still allowing for future removal
