Can't find radar detector mount cups, please help!

The plastic cups that hold the unit to the windshield, where can you buy those? I called the Radio Shack, the Best Buy, and the Circuit City, only the Best Buy carries $20 kit that won't fit all detectors. Spending $20 on a $60 radar for a pair of plastic cups is a waist, any alternatives?

mount it above your rear view mirror with h/d velcro

I just used the superglue to glue the broken cup to the mount bracket, and it works fine. Thanks for help, everyone

Go to any radar detector mfg. site and see if they sell replacement cups. Bel-tronics used to.

Escort also sells those cups.

In all honesty, if your radar detector is from the late 90's, I'd consider replacing it with a new one.

Bought a package of 6 at Walmart in crafts dept. They fit my BEL detector. Might need to cut a small slot to fit, but easy to do.
