    What do you mean by "Back of detector"? If you mean the display, then obviously the answer is no. If you are talking the "front" where the antenna is, then probably not, since it is in the middle and not on the side where the laser detection is.

    Ogliquidmetal, I don't think it effects the performance of the unit. But because my 995 was new and it came w/ a scratch, I had them send me another radar/laser lens at no cost. 1-800-341-2288 BelEscort

    If it is only a small scrath and it isn't on the area of laser detection,is not a problem,don't worry. The matter is why is there a scrath? It was fell down from your hands to the floor?(Only at this case maybe you will have problems)
    But do a test on its detection the next days to be sure

    I posted this on another thread, but if you want to reduce/eliminate the number of scratches you get on your RD lens (front and back), you might want to use a Ziplock bag or a Baggie to keep it in when you aren't using it. Just DON'T zip it up, as you could theoretically get moisture/condensation in there.
