[W126 Coupe] Cigar lighter adapter for cell phone radar detector

Some lighter holes are a bit bigger than others. There are plastic sleeves with gaps for the ground prongs available that will tighten up the plug. You might try Radio Shack or someplace like that. Should cost more than a couple bucks.
