    Default Just took a bubble level to my V1

    I noticed that when placed testing if its level to the horizon it passes perfectly , but I noticed when testing the tilt it was a little off because of the curvature of the glass.. Does it really matter if the tilt is off as long as its level to the horizon. Or is their a method to correct this? I noticed the glass on my BMW is curved all around vs other cars that seem to flatten out in the center.

    I think you are taking strait & level a little too far.

    Agreed -- there's no need to make the detector any straighter than the eye can tell. If it doesn't look obviously crooked or angled by a simple glance of the eye, it's not going to affect your real-world encounters by much. Especially you have what's arguably the most sensitive detector available.

    Nothing wrong with the level dude. You do what you like after all it's your level :wink:

    I purposely have mine tilted in order to get it pointing straight and level at the same time. It's the only way to do it unless you're going to mount it perfectly centered.

    You only need to get it right one time. Make small marks on the inside of your front window at the top of each of your "suckers" using white out. This is used to locate the perfect mount each and every time you re-mount your detector. Did mine 3 years ago and haven't looked at a level since. :arrow: :wink:
