Review on 🚘 ARKON GN079WD Replacement Windshield Dashboard Suction Mount Pedestal with 3-Inch Arm for Garmin nuvi GPS - Upgrade or Add-On by Joe Michels

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needs to be screwed to the dashboard

I used an alcohol wipe and cleaned the dashboard thoroughly before sticking the unit to the dashboard. Leave it for two hours and connect the GPS. The device fell the next day in a high temperature of 25Β°C. The trim seems sticky enough, but the only way to keep this device on the dashboard is to superglue it or screw it on. The 3 meter platform itself does not hold up. The suction cup is a different matter and it would take King Kong to remove it from the base. Looked promising but I don't think any of the sticky mounts will hold up well. I used double velcro and attached it to the base of the stick and dashboard. I'll find out if it holds up and let everyone know.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Not bad
