    Post Broken Bracket release

    Ok I had one question. I already sendt PM to Mike B. and this is basically what it said:

    "The Bracket release on the Radar detector has broke. The mount will not snap on to the RD. I opened it up and the whole plastic mechanism was broke so the switch is not there anymore. The whole mechanism has broke off completely and I did remove it so it didn't cause damage.

    Now from what I can see, the whole plastic top of the unit where the release is has to be replaced because it cracked off and was part of the "mold". I am talking about the part with the speaker and the buttons. Now I am sure you know what I am talking about, as you know the design better than I do, but I just wanted to inform you on the exact situation I have."

    Now I hope Mike B. sees this as I do not want to send him another PM. Wouldn't it be cheaper/easier for him to just send me the whole top mold? I could install it myself, as it seems very easy to.

    Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem.

    I have never had a problem with mine. It has been taken off the bracket a few 100 times. Mike B. should fix you up.

    Received your PM and responded with my address.

    It is much easier for me to address here then it is to send parts to you.
    While is is here, I can run a complete check up on it as well.

    Alright I'll send it soon. Now do you want me to let you know when i send it or what? I'll send you my address in a PM when I send it out to you so you know it is my unit.

    Thanks a lot. I have seen you on the forums helping others and now I am glad you do it! Great Customer Service! Many companies don't have that anymore.

    I assume I pay the shipping to get it to you but do you pay the return shipping?

    Again thanks a lot! Really like Whistler for there great products and excellent CS.

    Yes, we pay the return shipping.

    A PM when you send it out would be great.

    Ok Mike B. isn't on now, and I am sending the RD out tomorrow to him.

    Should I just send the unit and nothing else?

    Exclamation Re: Broken Bracket release

    UPDATE: I just received my Pro 78 back today (Monday), exactly 7 days from when I sent it out.

    Once again, Whistler (Mike B) have shown us how great their Custom Service is. I have read stories on here about their CS and now I got to experience it myself.

    My Whistler had its problem fixed and is good as new!

    Thanks again Mike B.
