Better GPS mounts

Clean the surfaces with alcohol then use elmers craft glue as a helper to keep it attached to the glass. Thats what I do.

 

Talk to it politely give it confidence be nice.....and if that doesn't work through it out the window then run over it.......after all that Google 67designs/mounts

 

I spit on the back of mine and stick it to the windshield and it’ll stay there for a month or so before it warns me it’s failing. Press it on hard before putting the lever down.

If yours is very old and getting beat from the sun just order a new Garmin mount like I have done.
I have had Garmin’s for years and never had a problem with their mounts. I also put mine up high near the visor without any worries. Too close to the dashboard can disturb the seal if going over a pothole the gps makes contact.

 

this is what i use now..it has amazing suction on windshield..even in below 0 temps

 

I’d take a hot glue gun and glue the suction cup to the dash then it’s actually closer to you. Some new windshields are a mile away from the driver. As well, alcohol will take the hot glue off when you’re done with the truck so no permanent damage. If you can screw something I’d go with a solid mount like this.

There is this to consider as well, not every state allows a GPS on the windshield. Would they actually write a ticket? Who knows, I’m guessing not but you never know.


NO

The laws are clear in the states that fall into the NO category. GPS devices and smartphones are not allowed to be mounted on the windshield of a vehicle. In many cases, a specific mention is made about the obstruction of vision due to non-transparent materials. The states that fall into the NO category include:

Alabama
Arkansas
Connecticut
Delaware
District of Columbia
Georgia
Idaho
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Montana
Nebraska
New Jersey
New Mexico
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

 

Not speaking for personal vehicles but in CMV’s they are allowed now.

 

I have always avoided windshield mounts for anything if i could.
I recently ordered a cell phone mount from this company. Very impressed with the quality.
If they don't have a configuration that will work, you don't need it.
