    I'll keep mine until it really starts going bad or until you can confirm they fixed the problem with the newer ones.
    Is it as bad as mine in the video?

    Thats how bad mine got/is. Received the second replacement today. The only thing I noticed was the suction cup takes on a cup shape when the lever is latched. Unfortunately, I don't remember if either of the others did that out of the box. The "bad" ones suction cup is flat latched or unlatched. I should have paid more attention but I never thought I would be doing research and beta testing on a stupid mount. Obsidian is correct. Heat definetly comes into play. I'll take notes and let you guys know.

    Mine is nowhere near as bad as yours ... I can't move mine easily like yours. It moves so slowly I don't even notice it until I realize my detector is cocked to one side ... but it definitely moves. When it's warm it bounces too.

    I agree with EscortRadar. Your supercup is broken. The one I installed in my mom's car doesn't wobble nearly as much as yours.

    Mine wobbles, too. For a "super" device, this one misses the boat. I've had more luck with the standard "twin" cups holding, even when applied to the tint strip. I guess more isn't necessarily better.

    Obisdian, the failure mode starts out like what yours is doing. Over time (weeks to a month or so) it gets continually worse until it becomes unworkable or falls apart. Kinda like "I think I'm getting a cold to where the heck is the Nyquil".

    That's what I figured ... I got mine around April 1st, but I only drive about 500 miles a month these days, so there is not a lot of mileage racked up on mine. It's a great mount ... if it didn't move it would be perfect.

    I find that the Super Cup has less wiggle and bounce with my Redline than the standard two suction cup mount.

    Received my third SuperCup yesterday and installed it this morning. It is a much tighter fit than the other two. The suction cup really sucks to the point that I have to really PULL the tab to get it off the windshield. Also the latch is very very tight. The other two were tight but not like this one. I'll run my RedLine on it for awhile and see what happens. Time will tell. This one is really different.

    Maybe I need to get mine replaced. Mine wobbles like crazy.
