Review on ClutchIt The Original Dual Magnetic Movable Phone Holder And Tablet Mount (Silver) by Sean Bouchard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product but doesn't work in the sun

Pros: The magnetic strength of this product is incredible and the product itself is very well designed. Their customer service is also top notch which is why everything gets 4 stars all around. Bad: I bought it to mount on my car's windshield, which means it can see the sun. If you live in a hot place. Self-adhesive backings won't hold because they're not designed to withstand high temperatures. In fact, when you receive the product, the instructions recommend that you remove the clutch system when parking in the sun to keep it from failing. It's quite annoying, especially when I use it for a camera system that keeps an eye on my car while parking. Correction: I ended up removing the glue from the plate with a razor blade and the slime was gone. I washed it off with Dawn (or equivalent). Let dry. Wipe with alcohol. I then applied Permatex Ultra Gray to the back of the panel. This material is rated for temperatures up to 500 degrees, so it will not fail in the sun. Make sure you use a subtle brushstroke in Ultra Gray so the panel has some grip when you press it against the window. The ultra gray color fans out and spreads across the back of the tape. Allow to dry for 24 hours before re-engaging the clutch system.
