    Whats the trick? I tried cleaning it and everything, but no good, falls off in 5 min.
    I guess I should ask, what tape are you using? because the pads it comes with are trash.

    Gorilla glue double sided tape will hold dam near anything.

    You can call prepass and they will send you some more fasteners. The key is the dashboard must be above 50 degrees. I have a brand new elite pass just sitting on my dash because it's too cold to install it now.

    I used to use Velcro in case I might want to not have it on the windshield at the moment. Not saying why.

    The gold standard in mounting stuff permanently using double stick tape is 3M VHB.
