Doesn't Stick, Just Sucks

The suction cup on this windshield mount is a total joke. Despite using it on a clean and dry surface, it would not stay stuck to my windshield for more than a few minutes. Based on our own experience, we had to constantly adjust it while driving, which was a major distraction from using our GPS. The only pro is that it did work well for holding our electronics, but that's irrelevant if it won't stick for more than five minutes. Save your money and find a more reliable mount.

Pros
  • Easy to install and remove.
Cons
  • May lose suction and fall off while driving.

Very disappointed with this product

The product will not adhere properly to the dashboard as advertised without using an adhesive pad. Finally the sucker was gone. Don't buy if you don't want to use a sticky disc.

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Unsure

Also works great with other Garmin Nuvi devices

I wasn't sure if the suction on the dash would actually work but after a few freezes it held up securely for weeks. Just make sure to find the flattest spot and use the included alcohol pad. The included mount is for the Nuvi 200 but I removed it and installed the included mount that came with my Nuvi 2350LMT as the ball size is standardized for many Garmin Auto GPS models. If it fits a Garmin wearable friction mount (see their website), it will most likely work with that mount. It also came…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Weak kit
