What about a curved dashboard top?A lot of these suction devices do not like curves.

It works for me. I have enough of a curve so that a small portion of the front of the holder does not even make contact with the dash and it's still very tight. It's pretty amazing.

I haven't tested it on curved surface. My dash is slanted and it grips it like a welder's hand.

This will work with some slightly curved smooth dashboards. Make sure that the dash is completely clean (no lint or armor all) and the suction cup is clean as well. If it has dirt, run under water to remove dirt and let air dry. Do not wipe suction cup. Good luck.

I have a Toyota Sienna with a curved dash. I mounted about six month ago or more when I bought it and it never fell off. Just clean and dry the area where you plan to mount it. Is a great product.

I have mine mounted on the curved part of my Jeep dashboard and it has not come off yet.

If your dashboard is completely flat is not going anywhere, but if placed on a curved one it may shake and wobble a little

It is not the same type of surface. things may slip off on hard braking or acceleration.

My vehicle has horizontal vents, so I haven't been faced with that issue. I thought that when ordering you specify type of car, etc. If so, they should know that they are vertical.

You need to check if the windscreen is flat. The suction cup is really good, but it may not work properly on curve surfaces.

Is OK if is slightly curved, the important thing is to be smooth/polished enough to aloud the suction cup to block. I don't know about the galant but I own a Corolla with a slightly curved dashboard and the holder works perfectly. It is a great quality product, compared to other models I saw.

This is a straight rod, not curved. You will find this same information in a previous answer.

Only intended for relatively flat and smooth surfaces like dashboard of your car

No. It's just for the flat part of the car. It has saved me a few scratches already because I have dogs that get in and out of the back. The dogs don't step on the 'curved' parts. Maybe you can purchase 2 strips and make it longer for your needs.

No, its rounded. The photos LOOK like it is flat but its not. About 70% of mine contacts the dashboard.

It shouldn't curve. It may have gotten bent. If it has only a slight bend you can try straightening it as close as you can, then installing it. The clamps should force it to sit flat.

Not sure I would reccommend this product for your sloping dashboard. After a while in the sun, the base seems to not adhere.

Not very well. The rack is designed for curved pans in a vertical arrangement.

no I don't like the curved. But I think there is choice of same product with curved brush.

You're correct, there is very little curve. This is one thing I dislike about this particular mount.

As others have stated the bottom of this friction mount is very sticky. And the 'rubber' base is flexible so it will conform to some curvature. But heed the advice of those who recommend at least couple of sq inches of flat (i.e. horizontal space) on your dash. Which needs to be near you if you want to use the touch screen while seated. If I recall rightly the recent Mazda 3s have a highly stylized dash which lots of curvy surfaces. So a bean bag type of mount with a equally sticky bottom might work better for you.

My friend that owns the convex drives an XB I can see out the back passenger windows. They are both "wide angle" but the convex covers a larger area, IMO.
