Windshield suction mount

 

I found a fix for the mount falling off. Clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol then coat both surfaces with paper glue (glue stick, from Staples or similar) before applying suction. Let dry for a few minutes. My mount has not fallen off again in over a month.

I just lick my fingers and rub on the rubber cup. Mine has never fallen off. Your mileage may vary.

residue

cosmic does that leave a nasty residue on your windshield? Licking only seems to work for a while for me in AZ. Sounds like a good idea.

Another idea

Haven't tried it with this suction cup, usually just set the GPS in the cup holder, but I've smeared a drop of cooking oil on the smaller suction cups on the house windows. Seems to hold for a pretty long time. Will leave a oily spot especially if you use too much but generally wipes off rather easily.

Just a suggestion.

Keeping the window clean is

cool Keeping the window clean is a big help....You just have to do that once in awhile

I Agree

I have to keep the window and the suction cup clean...as I have to move the suction cup from vehicle to vehicle to use for work as well as home.

It's very weak glue; will

It's very weak glue; will clean easily off of durable surfaces.

Mine has never fallen off

Does it fall off when the suction cup gets old? Mine is solid when it is on.

Window Mount

I had a window mount that stuck like glue and was using it until I started reading about theft of GPSs because of the suction cup ring on the window.

I then started using one of my cup holders to keep the GPS in close proximity to use it but it isn't in the field of view. A friend has a bean bag on his dash and I think this was the best of both worlds - in the field of view and totally removable with no evidence to would be thieves.
