radar detector placement

Right now I have my radar detector suctioned to my windshield about 6" above the dash....

Whenever i go over bumps it shakes violently and rattles alot too..

If i were to mount the radar detector in the middle of the dash, (right above the 2 vents) about 3" back from it. flush with the dash (i would use velcro)

would this impact the quality of the signals it is receivng?

thanks

I have mine just under the tint band next to the rear view mirrow. The higher you go the better.
