Does it have to be standing up, because I have no A/C and no cup holders, in a vw bug.... can i lay it sideways on top of my ebrake and it be okay?

No we ran in to trouble because we did not have cup holders but thought we could make it work. We couldn't so now it is just sitting in the garage

I agree re clip on one instead. Better air movement by far. This would be cumbersome to use. You could contact the company but think you'll be happier with the clip on kind which is what I went for.

It doesn't have to be standing to be on- mine fell over a lot actually. But I would recommend a clip on one or something else. This just wasn't powerful enough.

Im sorry but you will most likely need to fabricate mounting brackets and note that if you are a full figured model like me you will need to place the driver seat as far back as possible and maybe go with a tilt steering wheel. The passenger seat must sit just high enough to open the storage box if used....etc. good luck

The power supply section of the 540 has air vents on the side. You could lay it on the its side but you would need some rubber feet to add clearance for the vents to have some air flow. I just tried this last night and will be buying some rubber feet soon :)

Yes this will stand upright. The wheels come completely off easily and the stroller folds at the shocks. Then you can set it upright against a wall or something else that it can lean on (won't stand on its own).

Regrettably NO- these are designed to be mounted /attached to a solid rear axle. The Volkswagen bug was designed with a live/articulated axle.Like most things mechanical, possibly it could be me modified at considerable cost and difficulty, but I couldn't recommend it.

I had this on a 2013 vw jetta sportwagen and didn't have a problem. You just have to mount it forward enough to clear the open door. On the vw this didn't put the front of the cargo box forward of the windshield. You also need to consider clearance to any roof mounted GPS antenna and operable sunroofs (if they tilt up). Again, this wasn't a problem with the jetta, but was a consideration.

It is free standing and requires 6" clear space behind it so motor won't overheat. Mine never has cooled adequately except in winter time. If you purchase, keep boxes around since they claim any returns have to be in original packing .... And you must also pay shipping on return.

Hello! The answer is Not. The base has his own belts and this are short, even you can use the car's sitbelt but only as back-facing. Regards

It would need to be pushed into the ground, or somehow weighted down, to keep it standing upright. Mine has been fine by simply pushing it into the dirt.

Standing up, not realistically. You might be able to lay it down but I wouldn't recommend it. The base needs to be filled with water (or sand) and I think laying it down would risk a leak. Also the backboard would probably have too much pressure put on it in directions it isn't built to withstand. It really needs to be standing up and it's probably just too tall for any normal garage.

You can probably mount in the engine compartment but I would not mount it anywhere it could be wet a lot. It has to pull air from where it is and you wouldn't want to have it pullin moisture.

No, you'll have to either lean it against something or get a different cap for a firmer base if you want to be able to just leave it standing up.

It's a fairly heavy, sand bag style holder with a matted base. The 'wings' are flexible so can you squash it down between convolutions created by the instrument lights as on the Altima. I placed it on the passenger side which is a fairly steep contour and it remained firmly in place. I would agree that it will sit comfortably on any dash without slippage. I agree with florence, a big plus is you can simply lift it off the dash and tuck it into the console....I have complaints

I WOULD RECOMMEND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE THAT THE FAN COULD BE SAFELY OPERATED ON ITS SIDE. It appears to be designed to be used standing up (vertically). There's a vent that wraps around the back and from side to side.

Yes, have it mounted on top of a dashmat on my plastic dash, setting up against the a-pillar. Very stable, doesn't move and doesn't get in the way of your view. Much too big for the steering column, would have blocked the view of the gauges. Great tach, very stable needle and no issues after 3 months. Love it!

It does not fit in a cup holder I hang mine from the handle off of the cup holder it will also ride on the console without sliding off or tipping over

Well, there is more than one answer to your question. 1) if you have an older vehicle, I would recommend mounting it to the back of your rear seat and you can have access to it from your trunk, and it will keep it cool. If you have a newer vehicle I would recommend it pro-installed, it doesn't cost that much, most places are from 80-110 bucks.;-) hope I helped. And if you need help with installation, YouTube is the best answer
