Would it stick to a slightly textured dash? The optimum position in the Element is on a slighlty cobblestone texture...I'd hate to have it fall off

I haven't tried it but I would guess that a slightly textured (but porous) surface like leather or vinyl would probably work really well. Contrarily, a slightly textured, but non-porous, surface (like say, concrete.... I know.... not likely to be found on a dashboard) would not work well. The adhesive is essentially an advanced double-sided tape so I'm basing my opinions on past tape experiences. ;)

Yes it should stick to any dash surface. It comes with a clean wipe to clean surface. My dash is slightly textured too and I wish I would have moved it up a little. Now it is on there too good and will not come off easily. Lol

The adhesive is pretty strong so it shouldn't have problems sticking to a non-smooth surface. Worst case scenario, you could always purchase a stronger sticky tape type adhesive.

I agree with M.C the surface has to be smooth. my dashboard has a slight dip and I've had to fight with it for a long time before sticking it to the windshield.

It's pretty sticky, I applied over a textured wall & it's not going anywhere :)

I have mine mounted on the frame under the dash simply with double sided 3M adhesive squares (didn't want to drill into the body of my classic car) it works GREAT!

I have a smooth dash and have no problems with it. The bottom has a rough raw hide rubbery type finish and weighs 1 3/4 lb with the garmin attached. As for your dash cover, it would have to be firmly attached so the the garmin would be on a stable surface.

It's the best One I've used so far the if your dash is really textured a probably won't stick (BMW or Benz). My Acura and Miata dash had a smooth texture and it' works great. German cars seem to be a little rougher - and it doesn't stick. I've bought 3 of them. Sticks great on windshield.

Depends on the texture of the dash. If grain permits good hold without sticky disk, definitely yes. Since I have not used the sticky disk, I cannot say how easy it is to move. My car is an Accent with a moderate textured dash. It holds fast using suction cup only.

My dash is leather with a slight texture as well. For my dash the suction cup worked well, staying put until I removed it.

I'm not sure if it depends on what type of dash you have. I have a Volkswagen and my dash is a rough plastic and it didn't really stay on well.

It should probably stay in place. Otherwise you'll have scuff marks on the walls all the time.

Yes it will slip off your dash easily. That can be remedied with a cheap rubber dash mat you can buy just for that purpose where they sell auto accessories though.

Mine didn't stick the first time I used it. It was summertime and hot. Put it on the front of the dashboard and it fell off within a few hours out in the sun.

Hi, I didn't put mine on a textured wall, however, I think it will stick just fine on that type of wall also.

Mine sticks to the Dash very well. Solid. I have had it mounted since December 20th with no issues at all. Off Road Driving.... Even through 20 below zero temperatures lately.... I have had no issues. Mounted to the Vinyl Dash of a Jeep Cherokee.

I live in Hawaii, it does stick to any surface, but more so the window. I changed the location of my mount and when it is on my dash at a angle it doesn't stay stuck for a long period. This could be because of the heat we have year round here in Hawaii.

I don't think so, it's done with a suction cup. My dashboard is a plasticy material as well, but I actually stick it to my windshield. It's adjustable enough to be able to position it from either dash or windshield.
