Worth the money!: Vehicle Mounts

Great addition to my Ram mount! I had the original suction cup but as my windshield was far forward it couldn't be used. This little gem is the perfect solution. It was well packaged and came with a 3M adhesive pad that stuck instantly. It's very strong and the base is a bit flexible. I was able to attach it to the side of my central control panel and accessing my phone is much more secure and still visible. This is a product worth the money for what it offers. Thanks for a great product!

Pros
  • Made from high strength composite materials for durability and reliability in the toughest conditions
Cons

update, problem fixed. Gift wrap tape is stickier than this junk

Update: Email RAM and request a new tape. Sent quickly 2 pads for free. The must I discuss below May be defective as the new trim sticks firmly to the ridged textured dashboard. Won't stick to uneven Sierra 2020 dashboards. One side of the double-sided adhesive pad was very sticky. This side stuck perfectly to the plastic ball mount. "The other side barely stuck to the dashboard . However, the instructions say it should stay on for 24 hours, so I gave it a try. After 24 hours the adhesive…

Durable, but the adhesive cannot withstand the hot sun.

I like most Ram Mounts products. This isn't one of them. I purchased this item in November which is a cool month in Texas. I followed the instructions for proper surface cleaning and installation. In April, I ran into trouble when the adhesive came loose and I found the phone mount on the car seat. It seems to happen under the influence of hot sunlight. I'm not sure what brand of glue they use but they must be thinking about replacing them because I had to remove the glue and buy 3M glue that…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Will write later

update, problem fixed. Gift wrap tape is stickier than this junk

Update - emailed RAM and requested new tape. Immediately sent 2 pads free of charge. The one I checked below must be defective. The new trim sticks firmly to the textured, knobbed dashboard. Does not stick to dimpled dashboard on 2020 Sierra. One side of the double-sided sticky mat was very sticky. This side adhered perfectly to the plastic ball mount. The other side barely stuck to the dash, but the instructions say to leave them on for 24 hours, so I gave it a try. After 24 hours the adhesive

Perfect! But carefully prepare the surface in advance.

Well designed, well made. I would use the bolted version, but rear access poses a problem in my particular case. As with anything that is glued in place in any vehicle (mine is on a subcompact console - plastic - sitting in the Mexican sun) , surface preparation is everything. . Here's what I did: I rubbed the area with a plain green paint to remove the oils. Then I drew the outline of the page on the console. Then I sanded the area inside the outline with 120 grit sandpaper until the shine was

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Disappointed with the GPS accessory

I love this product. I have a Coleman Bass Classic 10 and would like to minimize the number of holes I make in the case if possible. A common problem, as anyone with a similar plastic case will tell you, is that it's difficult to find something that reliably sticks to it. It does. Glue is great. However, the strength of the ball joint leaves a lot to be desired. I use a Lowrance Elite 4x on a boat. This is a small and lightweight unit. I will not ship a boat with a device attached to the ram…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Secret
