This suction cup mount is absolutely horrible. I shouldn’t say that…it’s fantastic for about 3 weeks, then it’s all down hill. Mine held great for about 3 weeks, then kept falling off with the sun pounding down on it. I cleaned the windshield and cleaned the suction cup, still falls off. Then yesterday my wife wanted to borrow it so I went to take it off my windshield and what do I find? The suction cup was literally glued to my windshield. It came off in pieces, and there’s many stuck to the windshield still. Now of course it won’t work at all. It isn’t like I live in Nevada or something, where it’s 110 degrees every day in the summer, to deteriorate the material (not that it should then either). This thing is made of some CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP material. Unbelievable. I’ve had my radar detector mounted on the windshield for 4 years. It’s fallen off only a handful of times (maybe twice). So this thing gets 1 star. Only because I can’t give it zero stars. It’s too bad I can’t find some other brand that makes one, because this thing is absolute JUNK and a waste of $$.
Once this mount gets hot in the sunlight, the rubber adhers to the glass. To get it off you will probably rip part of the rubber off and the whole thing will lose it’s ability to create good suction for the next install. My recommendation is mount it once and don’t move it again or you will make a $30 mistake just as I did.
An alternative for moving mounts from vehicle to vehicle I use is the automotive mount (dash style) adding my own velcro for use with rental cars. Replacing velcro is much cheaper than replacing the window mount.Garmin Automotive Mount for Nuvi (010-10723-04)
don’t bother with this. As mentioned before, the rubber from the cup melted onto the windshield. It took forever for me to get the darn thing off the windshield. After getting it off, I still had to used a razor blade to get the rest of the black rubber off the glass. And there is still a slight black circle there. This happened in April in Michigan.
I will admit, before it melted, the location and flexibilty of the mount was great.
