I originally asked about a strong suction mount to hold this on windshield. Don't want the monitor on the dash. Sticky that came with it did not stick for long. As soon as the temperature of the windscreen changed in the sun, it popped off. So I tried...

I don't know of an after market suction mount but you might look at second hand stores for a broken gps that has the suction mount then modify it for your screen. Another suggestion would be to get some rearview mirror adhesive and glue it in place. Super glue works temporarily but heat build-up inside your vehicle will debond super glue over a short time. You may be able to find a generic suction mount here on amazon you could attach it to using JB weld.

I tried dash mounting, and it held great with a dash mounting plate that I glued to the dash. I went back to the windshield since there was MUCH LESS vibration effect being mounted to the windshield.

Try washing the mount in warm soapy water. Then air dry. Make sure it is free of all dirt and dust. Also make sure the dashboard is very clean. This should help it stick.

The mount is not supposed to "stick" to the surface. It has a tacky finish to aid in skidding or slipping around. My experience is that if the surface loses tackiness is because the surface is dirty, as in dusty. A good washing off of the pad and a good wet wipe of the dash and all is good.

It comes with a sticky tape circular mount that might stick to the dash and the holder will suction to that. If you've got a good flat area on the dash it may work good.

Hi, They work on the window but not on the dashboard. My suggestion is to avoid using the suction cups for several reasons. 1 - When it gets bitter cold the spit or whatever you used to mount it freezes and the whole thing falls off the window. 2 - If you plan to remove it after use there is a mark on the window that advertises you have one in the car though with prices falling it's less likely it will be stolen these days. 3 - It is illegal in some states to use a window mount. 4 - The sandbag is more stable and vibrates a lot less.

I couldn't get mine to stick to my dashboard. I wish it could. in a car on the windshield it gets in the way of the visor. Still love it though.

I have mine on the windshield of my old pickup truck and I get a clear panoramic view behind me, to left and right of my truck bed, and the only time the suction cup failed to stick was when the truck sat in a parking lot, windows rolled up, no shade, at 80 plus degrees for 24 hours. I think it's great.

It happened to me too. I used an old credit card (or something similar that won't scratch your windshield) to gently take it off. There was a black rubber circle on the windshield. I took my car to a glass repair shop and they took it off easily. The suction mount was slightly damaged, but it still attaches to the windshield (although the grip feels weaker).

The suction cup is pliable and a little sticky. I think it may sick to a slightly textured surface. My dash is very slightly textured and mat. I hope I've helped.

Your GPS should have a soft plastic base that you moisten to stick on your windshield now. The dashboard mount also has a round area to moisten to stick your GPS on to stay on the dashboard mount. The mount then stays on your dashboard when you're driving.

I also live in fl. So far I keep in car on beanbag mount, so no suction cup marks on windshield. ( even if unit is removed from dash, thieves look for suction cup marks and will break into car looking for it.) Car is garage kept , but would not worry about it unless you park all day in sun. If thats the case just place in truck or someplace in car in shade.. Direct sunlight would definitely increase internal heat to damage point. ?. Hope this helps...PS this is by far the best screen I have ever seen on a gps, and the features are great.

I have only tried to mount it on the dashboard of my car. Everytime I use it and try to mount it on my dashboard, it won't stay there. In hindsight, I should have returned this but I threw away the box.

You would need a smooth surface like a windshield to mount/stick the suction cup before you can use it For that purpose.

The suction cup is pretty good. So if the dashboard is smooth enough, it'll be okay. Mine is not. So i used the easy to remove 2 sided tape.I don't know how long that will hold in the summer heat.

The rubber suction cup broke loss on mine about 4 weeks after I bought it. I wouldn't trust it on my windshield so I would definitely not use it on my bike. You would be better off finding something you could mount to your handle bar or you headlight bracket like I did!
