The way mine ended up allowed it to be as low as it could get without some sort of extension on the radar bracket. I might look at adding some type of extension in the near future so I can use the mirror dimming lever. BTW, on the trip out to the base and back, the detector didn't move/bounce any at all. Very tight and firm/solid.
