I had a bit of a scare when I first got mine on my old 8v - but then stuck it and screwed it in and it was fine ......

Mine snapped off at 110 on motorway, good job there wasn't anything behind me for quite a while.  sh!t me up though, just having a long piece of plastic hitting my windscreen at that speed.
