Keeping those darn radar devices on the windshield

[Kneale Brownson]

Clean all the hand lotion and fingerprint oils off the weighty detector, 
Dee, and then use some two-part epoxy.  The easiest stuff to use correctly 
is the kind that comes in a double plunger dispenser that puts the same 
amount out of each tube.  Let it cure 24 hours even if it's called 5-Minute 
Epoxy or something like that.
