    Default Scratches on radar lense.

    Would scratches on the radar lense affect the senstivity or anything of the radar detector....

    It really shouldn't assuming there aren't huge trenches filled with gunk...

    Radar will pretty much pass right through the plastic, little scratches, nicks or not.

    It could be possible that some heavy trench-like scratches (w/junk) over the laser 'lenses' could cause a decrease in laser performance as it could block/disperse the lasers beam.

    it doesn't affect radar at all, i wouldn't bring it back for just that though, after I used mine for a few weeks it is also scratched, i don't even know how they all happened
