    I had a V1 1.7 2.909, I sold it and currently dont have an RD. Trying to save for a bike. But I may have to get another RD I feel naked without it.

    V1 should steal the old Chevy slogan "Like a Rock"

    I never leave mine in my car on a hot or cold day and occasionally I'll be shuffling the keys, mail, phone etc and I've dropped it from about 6FT a few times and she does not scratch or falter just keeps right on kicking radar / laser butt.

    Thanks for your replies, I was very concerned that I would damage this fine piece of craftsmanship. BTW I got 2.6 Km warning on my KA band driving home from work today. Very impressed, thats even behind the tint strip!

    I doubt it. Since the lens is plastic and radar passes through plastic, I think you will be fine.

    you should use some glass polish to remove scratches, follow this up by cd polish!

    t cut also works well, i've only got finger scratches on mine....

    i have no idea why the v1 got dropped from 30 ft, maybe mike tried this.. but doesnt want to tell, or someones girlfriend had an argument which resulted in holding the v1 from a multi story cark park?

    the v1 may be mistaken for a hockey puck!
