Why doesn't the mount stick to my vinyl dashboard? I can lift it up quite easily.

Leave it on the dash � for a while and the sticky bottom will set. You also need to remove the then plastic film covering the bottom.

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.

Did you clean it with an alcohol solution tissue first?And next... I hope that this does not sound foolish but did you remove the fine cellophane backing sheet? I have three of these in different vehicles, and have not had a problem of adhering even with multi curves in the dash.

Because this one doesn't have strong enough adhesive you can use two sided tape or velcro

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.

Is your dashboard clean of dust and such?? If not then clean it then retry the mount

Mine didn't stick the first time I used it. It was summertime and hot. Put it on the front of the dashboard and it fell off within a few hours out in the sun.

I don't recommend this item. It doesn't really stick to the dashboard, it did the first few days and after that useless... I actually just tried it again this weekend and "failed" hope this helps.

You can apply some pressure as you mount the unit to the windscreen. Cleaning the silicone surface from time to time does help. Or there may be some temperature differences as when you mount the unit and it then gets exposed to sunlight, where the air inside the mount expands. Anyway, even with a secure mounting, it won't stick forever (over a course of several days), so you might have to remount occasionally. I usually detach the unit whenever I have to park the car in the middle of sunlight for extended number of hours. I didn't do so with my previous unit and it bluetooth appeared to stop functioning as I assumed the electronics should have been worn due to excessive heat.

It depends on the surface. If it's plastic, it sticks very well, but it doesn't stick at all on my leather dashboard.

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

It must be attached to a smooth surface, like the windshield. If you have a smooth dash it should stick. But if it's a textured dash it won't work. I attached mine to the windshield and it works perfectly! Good luck.

It depends on where you mount the device. I mounted on the face of the dashboard and it works great. The whole idea with the sticky pad is so it gives you versatility mounting positions.

That was my primary reason for trying it, and it works where suction type mounts failed. Buy a 'repair' kit to have a spare adhesive block in the event you wish to move it. It really only sticks once.

It should hold it, but I would not have too much faith in suction to Dash as shown.

This has some sort of sticky base that once remove can not be placed back on something. The direction tell to use a fine string to pull of the piece. I am only going to use it if my mount will not stay on my dash. So far the rubber base is working, so I will not use the adaper plate

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.

I had to put the extra disk on a flat surface, then it stuck. It would not suction to the rough dashboard. I unfortunatelyBent it the wrong way and broke it so did not use it long.

The 'red pad' is covering sticky tape.. You would tape that part to your dash or whatever as a place you would suction the rest of the mount to on a regular basis.

We suspect dust has either collected on the dash or on the base of the mount. We would suggest washing it with water to remove the dust. Let it dry before placing it on the dash again. Please let us know if we can assist you further. Thanks !

I have not been able to take my mount off. Seems like it's kind of stuck there.

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
