Review on πŸ“ High-performance 70mm Adhesive Dashboard Mounting Disc for Car Dashboards - Ideal for Garmin, TomTom, and other GPS Devices by Maya Allen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent mounting disc but the glue is heat sensitive.

I needed a mounting disc to use with my phone's suction cup car mount. My dashboard ('07 Scion tC) has a ribbed texture that prevents smooth suction cups (designed for glass) from sticking. I couldn't find a mount with soft, sticky gel suction cups, so I went with this semi-permanent solution. The mounting lever began to loosen the adhesive and the disc began to lift from behind. Here's something interesting: The adhesive didn't come off where the tape touches the dash, no, it came off where *the tape touches the mounting disk*. So if the split continued, I would have received a dashboard with mounting tape glued to it and a separate plastic disc. I was able to fix the problem by simply applying some superglue to the growing gap with a thin toothpick. between the adhesive tape and the mounting disk. After that, the tape was hardened and the disk was no longer separated. Note that I also use windshield sunscreen when parked in direct sunlight. It's been about a year since I installed the drive and it still works perfectly. NOTE: If your mount's suction cup is 70mm wide, you should purchase a larger 80mm Arkon mounting disc as these discs have a rough, textured edge a few millimeters wide. and they don't pair well with smooth suction cups. Thus, the actual smooth surface of the slab is slightly smaller than the actual width of the slab.

Pros
  • Great selection
