Does this mount have to be glued to the dash. Not wanting anything permanent or damage to the dash.

Actually it has a large suction cup. You can buy one of those weighted pads with the slick surface in the center that you can find in the area where they sell GPS devices (like Target), and this would suction onto that. Nothing permanent.

No, this not a permanent mount. You can use either suction grip or Velcro. I have taken mine off several times. It is a good mounting system.....no complaints at all.

No. Has a great suction cup on the bottom. Make sure the dash is clean and I wet my finger and swab it around the suction cup for additional holding power.

No it attaches to the dash with a suction cup. It will also attach to the windshield via suction cups. All are provided when you purchase the Radar Detector!

It comes with double sided sticky tape. It is fairly thin, so pretty unnoticeable (doesn't create lift to the mounting plate). So you can pull off the mount plate later, and scrub off the double sided sticky tape off your dash.

Yes, this comes with a little plastic mount that you screw in to your dash. You have to screw it to the dash there are no existing holes to mount it.

It can be removed from the dash, but you'll have to clean off the sticky part before you mount it again. We've done it a few times.

Keep in mind that you probably won't need a disk to mount this item properly to your dash. The suction cup has a tacky, reusable adhesive that allows it to stick to the majority of dash surfaces. I have it mounted to the FRONT of my dash so that the arm is parallel to the floor and it stays in place without any problems. Buy a mounting disk if you want but I think you'll find that you can do without it.

It works well when the surface of contact between the dash board and the bound is large. Usually, this means that the area of the dash board where you place the mount should be as flat as possible or even concave (i.e., downwards). If it is convex upwards the friction may be not enough. Also, make sure you dust the dash board surface regularly, otherwise dust sticks to the bottom of the mount and the friction subsides. Then, if you make a sharp turn or accelerate fast, the thing may move or even fall to the floor.

I have'nt used the disk myself. The suction cup works well on my textured dash. The adhesive backing on the disk I suspect is harmless. AnyResidue can be removed with mineral spirits. I purchased the Arkon # mg279.

This product is designed to sit on top of the dash and its sticky surface tends to not let it slide. It is not permanently attached. Works ok for me.Joe

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.

It's very moveable, i actually was unable to use it at all. Unless your dash is very flat and level the weight of the arm and phone/GPS causes it to fall over. Its not really adhesive at all, just a tacky disk. I had better luck mounting to the windshield with the suction cup.

Yes...To Both Questions. But Dash Mount Is A Sticky Mount. It Also Comes With A Suction Cup Mount For Windshield. That'sThe Mount I Use And It WorkS Great.

My dash is textured and it sticks with no problem. The suction cup is a gel-like material.

Interesting question: I am going to try mounting it in my new car and see what happens. I can velcro tape it to the dash. Never thought of it but this may be another application for the same equipment.

It sticks very well. I've stuck it, removed it, and stuck it again. It has a tacky surface on the suction cup that allows it to stick to a textured dash like mine. I'm very pleased with it. hope this helps.

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.

This has some sort of sticky base that once remove can not be placed back on something. The direction tell to use a fine string to pull of the piece. I am only going to use it if my mount will not stay on my dash. So far the rubber base is working, so I will not use the adaper plate

Some material on dashboards is too texured to use just the suction cup attachment alone. I use the included metal circle to insure greater adhesion of the holder under all conditions. It has never bumped off using the disc. It will definitely stick without the disc---BUT not IN-definitely. If you find you need to use the disc, it sticks on there as long as the adhesive works. I haven't had any problems using the disc. You can try to find SOME smooth surface/place on your dash but it might not be as convenient to use. I don't know if any "sunfading" might occur over the long term.

This is perfect for rental cars because it is not a permanent mount. Simply remove it. It would be best to keep the heavy plastic liner that it is shipped with to place the sticky rubber back on while it is being stored.
