Dash mount opinions? Hi,I have an i2 and after the first couple of months, my unit stopped sticking to my windshield. Can anyone recommend a good dash mount?

Can your holder support my tom tom gps? The one that comes with it always falls off window and dash board. Can anyone tell me if it works well for a gps holder?

Yes, the primary mount that I spoke of in my review is the windscreen mount. I believe it also comes with a dash mount, but I don't use it.

I use weighted sandbag mount that just rests on the dashboard. Works OK for me. (it is a Garmin product).

Hello Peter.Assuming the product you got is OK, then it fits very tightly to the dash board. There is a clips you need to open 1st, i assume you did that. 2nd apply some water on the sucking cup and clean the dashboard area. now close the clips. It should hold very tight. This product is excelent, and you should not have any problems with it.

You can stick the "black round thing" anywhere on the dash board. Then you can attach your garmin mount like attaching to windshield. Make sure you decide where you want it on the dash board (once you stick it, it is kind of stuck there for ever). Remove the thin film on the white tape (hard to remove). Once removed, it's very sticking. Before sticking it on the dash board plan ahead. Good luck!

I first thought of a dash mount, but the camera is designed to use a windshield mount, and too much retrofit to change it. Once I tried the windshield mount provided and mounted it just in front of the rear view mirror, I've been satisfied. Give it a try. If it's not what you want or like, you can return it for something else.

Where do you have it located? I placed mine right on the window under the rearview mirror. I never had that issue Try placing it somewhere on the dash or next to the unit

I don't know what a dash cover is. Ours is leather and it holds. The bottom of the friction mount is a fabric, possibly suede leather and things do not slide on it. If your dash cover is something like a loose cloth that moves then I think there could be a problem unless you could place it close enough to the windshield. Its got like small rocks inside and is sort of like a bean bag, if that will help you to imagine. Just think - a suede bean bag. Would it slide off your dash cover? As long as the dash cover doesn't move it would be fine, so placement could also be a consideration. From my experience with buying from Amazon and their great return policy, if you think it might work, go for it. Good luck!

The gel pad would stick to the dashboard (be sure to clean & dry the area before sticking the gel pad). You then attach & lock the mount itself on the pad plate. If you want to use the mount on your windshield simply detach the mount from the gel plate and attach the mount to the windshield (leave the gel pad on your dash).

I live in Hawaii, it does stick to any surface, but more so the window. I changed the location of my mount and when it is on my dash at a angle it doesn't stay stuck for a long period. This could be because of the heat we have year round here in Hawaii.

It's very moveable, i actually was unable to use it at all. Unless your dash is very flat and level the weight of the arm and phone/GPS causes it to fall over. Its not really adhesive at all, just a tacky disk. I had better luck mounting to the windshield with the suction cup.

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.

I've got mine mounted on the shiny dashboard plastic on the top of my center console in my Honda Element. It has been holding perfectly since I bought it, even in 90 degree plus weather. I'm not that gentle with it either, frequently yanking the phone out from the jaws rather than unloading the clamp to remove it.

It sticks to my dash really well. This thing is so inexpensive, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works - and yes, it's easy to mount and dismount. The grip to hold your device is excellent, too. Hope this helps!

I live in South Florida. Not had a problem thus far. Have taken it off our dash and put it back on the dash just twice since I got mine months ago. Still stickin.

Once mounted on dashboard / windshield for Iphone 4, has anyone used it to take pictures / video? I want to know whether it is able to bend (at an angle?) to have clear view and the mount point doesn't obstruct the view.
