My adhesive mounting disc does not hold the weight. What other adhesive options are there as I am getting one for my Dad too?

Have you tried using your windshield? I found the adhesive disc to also not work for me. As my phone would fly across the car on sharp turns. But it has stayed intact with the windshield. You can pretty much toss the disc.

I use the window suction cup mount as I knew the adhesive would not hold. I suggest going to a hardware store and buying a more adhesive tape and cut to size.

I wound up throwing mine out. The plug for the lighter was not reliable. It was a separate piece that you plug the USB plug into. The USB plug worked fine. I don't believe I used any adhesive to stick to the front glass. The suction was more than enough. Push into glass, flip lever down to hold suction. I did not use on the dashboard.

Mine fell a few times also. Make sure both surface and suction cup are super clean and dry. If that still doesn't work - maybe you're overloading it? I found that was my problem. It doesn't hold as much weight as I'd like.

I have'nt used the disk myself. The suction cup works well on my textured dash. The adhesive backing on the disk I suspect is harmless. AnyResidue can be removed with mineral spirits. I purchased the Arkon # mg279.

It's a smooth black plastic so something as simple as double sided tape would work. That circular feature is a mold mark but could easily be drilled out for a more secure mount. The basic unit doesn't come with any provision for mounting.

It had no adhesive for mounting, but is pretty dificult to unmount the original one for the adhesive. So i just put the new one over the old adhesive with no problem.

It comes with mounting gear which I didn't use. I used a thick double stick foam tape. It's not heavy at all. You could use magnets or tape to hold it up.

Not the best adhesive for that. I would use Loctite Power Grab. Sold at Lowes & Home Depot. Apply the Loctite and tape the holder to the wall until dry

You can use adhesive but that didn't work for me. There are holes for screws, which is what I used.

You could use heavy duty Velcro but when you try to adjust settings it might wiggle around it depends on how you mounted it. Be sure to mount the Velcro to the bracket not on the unit. Another way you could do it, is use 250 lb double sided tape again on the mounting mounting bracket. The big issue is where you mount it.

Hi steve i have the same one. U shud make your own mounting brackets as the ones spplied are inadequate. U shud use four brackets to make it stable. Sorry im having the same problem. Good luck. Jim

I use the suction mount that it came with, I bought a heavy glass ashtray & silicone glued the suction flat to it. makes it more stable & does not tip over. Sits on the dashboard so both of us can see it.

Contact the company. I had a packaging issue with my mount and they were super in fixing the problem. When you contct the company, they will have someone call you back. Quick response.

You can buy holders from him. I believe they come with adhesive on the back. He does great work and is very fast.

Two suggestions: First and foremost, when first installing the disc, make sure it's on a flat section of your dashboard and pile books on it for the first few days whenever the vehicle is not in use. This will allow the adhesive to "cure" before you attach your GPS bracket or the bracket for some other device. Secondly, try to use those aluminum foil windshield shades whenever possible and throw a wash cloth over the GPS to shade the adhesive disc whenever you're not driving the vehicle. We do this in NC where the sun is also hot and it's been working.Paul Baragona Raleigh, NC USA Two suggestions: First and foremost, when first installing the disc, make sure it's on a flat section of your dashboard and pile books on it for the first few days whenever the vehicle is not in use.

It comes with one that is already attached to the base. Clean the surface, peel off the strip and apply. After seeing your question it occurred to me that the 3M Command adhesive strips might be good for this. Then you could easily remove and move the mount to other surfaces. I'll have to experiment with that to see if it is strong enough. For instance put the mount on my helmet, then remove it and put it on my ski or the front of my vehicle, etc. Let's try it and see how it works. Thank you for stimulating that idea!
