Mounting radar on windshield?
I have seen some posts on here about wanting to mount a radar on the windshield but being unsure about whether it can be done. I know my CL had only the 2 small places it could be mounted....either at the very top where the black dots were....or in a small area in which the instruction manual noted this and gave measurements.
However, I did not notice any mention of anything being special about the SL windshield in the SL manual nor anyplace it gave measurements. In other words, seemingly contrary to what alot of people here originally thought, I am assuming it can indeed be mounted anywhere on the windshield. Can anyone confirm this?

My V1 worked well on the center dash in my 04 SL500, but my S55 requires the same mounting that your CL did.
The best thing to do is check an area that you know has a false alarm.
With the S you can see the small area at the bottom if the sun is shining on it just right.
If your SL doesn't have the "blue" windshield, you should be able to put it anywhere.
