That's the way I did mine except I used velcro and attached it to the dash in the same spot just lower. I know it's not the optium place but it prevents having to stick it on the window leaving marks for thieves to see and when you put up a sunscreen it hides the detector nicely. I can take pics later.
True, it is definitly not the ideal place for a detector. I much rather have it high up by the rear view mirror, but that damn black dot matrix won't allow my suction cups.
For the past 2+ years, I've never taken off my detectors; always in plain site. So far so good (knock on virtural wood). In our Civics, I had them mounted up high by the rear view mirrors, so they were somewhat concealed, but if you looked it was pretty obvious. Never been stolen or attempts to be stolen.
I may use your idea and just use a friction mount for the detector in lieu of adhesive and velcro for easy removal.
