I somehow managed to break the socket on the back of my Drivesmart65. I haven't had this for even a year.
I don't know if I have named the part correctly and I don't know if it is easily replaceable. It is where the ball end of the mount attaches.
Please help.
Possible Replacement Part?
I think you're referring to the Bracket Mount. The ball end of a mount attaches to the socket of the Bracket Mount which in turn clips to the back of the GPS.
Check out the Universal Bracket Mount, part number 010-11983-02, from Garmin at https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/134557/pn/010-11983-02 for $9.99.
Amazon also carries them.

Bracket Cradle Mount
All of my Garmin's have had a piece or two of plastic break off from inside the ball cup portion of the bracket cradle mount. Most times I've been able to glue the broken piece back in with super glue and the cradle continues to more or less work. Like the previous poster indicated, you can buy replacement bracket cradle mount from either Garmin or from online retailers like Amazon.

You are handy with that super glue. I don't have the patience or probably the skill.
Thank you for the link.
