Ball out of spec

I bought this ball among the few on Revain because it was the cheapest. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. A small bullet rendered this mount virtually useless. Fortunately, the fiction is just enough to keep my GPS from falling out. However, I have to position it so that it rests on the dashboard so that the screen faces me. Should have checked the fit as soon as I got it. It's too late to return now. Take branded Garmin.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Unusable features

An overview of non-traditional uses

I use this for something other than GPS. I use it to hold up a window that has a broken motor! This decision depends largely on the suction power of the device, whether it is raining or on a hot summer day. I'm happy to report that my windows haven't fallen down since I've been propping them up with these two little suction cups! I will say that I poured some water on the suction cup before applying it to the glass to give it that extra oomph. This fix costs a few bucks compared to a $300…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Some problems

Works even better than the original

Received this to replace the unit that came with my Garmin Nuvi (bought '08 or '09) that had long since lost its window suction (or was stuck to the window longer than, say, ten minutes). At just under €6 including shipping, I found the price reasonable. I certainly wouldn't pay Garmin nearly $20 for a branded replacement if I hardly ever use the device as is. It may have been a long time since the original suction cup worked properly, but I have a feeling this one actually holds the device in…

  • Consistent test results

  • Some cons

Used to replace the adhesive on the rearview mirror bracket

I used this to attach the rearview mirror to the windscreen of a '93 Eurovan. After unsuccessfully re-gluing it, I figured a suction cup mount would be a good solution. As it turns out, the original mirror has an 18mm ball mount, while the Garmin mount has a 17mm ball mount. So I ordered it knowing I would have to customize it somehow. I used a small piece of rubber from an old bike inner tube to make up the difference and it works great. The new mount adheres very well to the windshield and…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

NOT as good as OEM in car mounts

UPDATE: Suction cup functionality continues to deteriorate to the point where it will fall off from even a small bump or even normal driving. It's too late for me to return it, but I advise others not to buy it as it will become unusable. This is just my opinion, but I suspect those who give her good marks got theirs not long ago. It works great for the first two weeks, but then the suction cup gradually loses suction. First Review: It works, but not as well as the original. I've had it for…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Safety

WON'T HOLD CUPS - COUPLING MATERIAL TOO THICK AND HARD

Received today and installed immediately. When used with a Garmin Nuvi 1450 5 inch GPS navigator, it did not stick to the installed plastic disc on the dashboard. Well, put it on the windshield, took 10 minutes. I tried reinstalling on the windshield, it didn't work. It looks like the material of the suction cup is too thick and heavy to hold the suction cup. The "locking lever" didn't lift the cup very far, so it created a bad vacuum. The only way to use it until we get home is to press it…

Pros
  • It's OK!
Cons
  • Hard to say
