How hard is it to remove the dash mount sticky base? Worried about ruining the dash should I want to remove it.

I'm not sure if it depends on what type of dash you have. I have a Volkswagen and my dash is a rough plastic and it didn't really stay on well.

Depends on the texture of the dash. The adhesive didn't stick at all to one car. If it does stick, use some orange oil to remove any residual adhesive.

The mount will come off of the windshield if you slip a sharp point knife VERY CAREFULLY into the adhesive and SLOWLY work the point in. Once the mount starts to come loose, peeling it off is easier. Clean up the sticky mess with 90% alcohol. To re-mount, I use the 3M outdoor double side tape. It's kinda dark gray with the red peel off backing.

I'm having tremendous difficulty removing it from the dash of my Kia Rondo.

I think you could glue the suction cup on your dash but it will be ugly when you remove it. I don't think the suction cup will stick to the dash.

The headlight mount is tool-less to install/uninstall, you just spin the screw tight. I wouldn't say you need to take the whole mount off to prevent theft - the headlight itself comes off by bending a little plastic thingy to release and slide it out (like most lights). It's secure when riding and just takes a second to fiddle with in order for the light to release. The taillight mount requires a screwdriver to secure it to the seat post, but the light just clicks in and out of a track. I take my lights off when parked and would recommend these for that reason.

You have to remove the bumper cover. It is not too hard. I didn't have to remove all of the bumper cover screws but it is easier to remove it all. Watch this video http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Pe3xFXx4gWM&desktop;_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPe3xFXx4gWM Or google it.

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.

My dash is textured and it sticks with no problem. The suction cup is a gel-like material.

The adhesive and suction are very strong an sturdy. I have mine stuck to my dashboard and I do not remove it. However I'm sure, as with most adhesive backings, that if u keep removing it, it will probably wear down. I don't know about that company's policy on replacements.

This product is designed to sit on top of the dash and its sticky surface tends to not let it slide. It is not permanently attached. Works ok for me.Joe

Hmmm... it's looks like a permanent friction fit. I tried to lightly pull it apart, but it doesn't seem to want to do that. If this thing popped open, you should probably try to glue it back together, unless it's still returnable. Note that the head unit is adjustable , as a sort of cheap ratchet. You will probably want to make sure that is still functional.

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).

From what I see it shouldn't be an issue. It locks down using suction so to remove it all you have to do is pull the tab releasing the suction from your dashboard. The surface of the suction part is a bit sticky, not sure if that will wear out over time or not.

I've never tried to remove it, but it is stuck on there pretty good. Sorry I'm not much help.
