Uniden Radar Detector Mirror Mount for R8 R7 R4

This is a radar detector mount for Uniden R4, R7, & R8 models that came with a specific suction cup mount. 

If you do not have this specific suction cup mount, you can purchase it on Amazon → Uniden SSS00275R Suction Cup Bracket.

If you happen to have a Uniden R3 or DFR7 that uses the older style “ball and joint” mounts, I have developed a mount for it and its uploaded here → Uniden Radar Detector Mirror Mount for R3 or DFR7

The file includes two “upper mount” brackets to accommodate a wider range of mirror shaft mounts for various vehicles. 

You will reuse the bottom part of the original mount and the hardware that came with it. It attaches to a lower printed bracket, 

My remix of Zadeo's mount removes the heat inserts and replaces them with negative spaces that hold M5 nuts.  I've also added painted texture to the interface on the arm and the lower bracket to make this pivot more rigid.  It's a tight fit but it has worked across the two I've printed.  I've also created a .3MF file and tweaked the print profile for ASA filament. 

M5 Hardware Requirements: 

3xM5 nuts, preferably nylon lock nuts.

1 x M5x25mm screw for arm to lower shaft bracket.

2 x M5x16, 20, or 25mm screws for the lower bracket to upper bracket mount. 

The length on those last two screws will depend on your rear-view mirrors stem diameter and which upper bracket you use. For example: the M5x16 goes as small as a 13.5mm on the smaller top mount, and the M5x25 on the taller top mount can handle up to a 29mm diameter stem. You can mix and match the two top mount shapes and screw lengths to get the fit that works best for you.

Note, If your mirror shaft is under 17.5mm, you’ll need to use the smaller (more flat) top mount bracket. This is the size the larger upper mount with the larger arch begins using the shortest screws. 

March 30th Update - One of my vehicles had such a short shaft from mirror to where all the electrical hardware on the windshield was mounted that the normal 15mm hardware was too thick and the mirror couldn't be adjusted, so I made it thinner by 4mm and uploaded that file as a print profile.
