How well does this mount stick to the dashboard, instead of the window? Does it last being left in the car long term?

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.

It sticks very well. I have been leaving the mount stick in the window since I bought it. The bad thing about this mount stick was that it fall apart. I had to glue it carefully with nail glue. Now it is working.

The suction cup is pretty good. So if the dashboard is smooth enough, it'll be okay. Mine is not. So i used the easy to remove 2 sided tape.I don't know how long that will hold in the summer heat.

The reason for the mounting disc is so it doesn't leave marks on a softer dashboard when you take it off. I don't know for sure but it should come off either by inserting plastic in between or by pulling it off

I think you could glue the suction cup on your dash but it will be ugly when you remove it. I don't think the suction cup will stick to the dash.

Will not stick to dash. Need to mount to windshield.I've used mine with a Sony HandyCam on an old railroadgrade, with holes big enough to eat a truck!! Stayedmounted the entire trip and more.Even the cold of winter did not bother it. Had it mounted, on a couple of trips to the Denver area.Just in case something did happen.Came undone a couple of times, but only due to operator error!I didn't get the suction cup firmly attached! Great piece to have.

Yes It should work just fine for u. My dashboard is textured so it wont stick there. But it stays good on the window.

No , not really, once you stick it too the dash, it won't stick again , just keeps coming off if you remove it once

The gel pad would stick to the dashboard (be sure to clean & dry the area before sticking the gel pad). You then attach & lock the mount itself on the pad plate. If you want to use the mount on your windshield simply detach the mount from the gel plate and attach the mount to the windshield (leave the gel pad on your dash).

Yes! I've had my mount for a month now and have to remove it daily and store it in my glove compartment. Same suction power as the first day. So far so good!

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 tried dash mounting, and it held great with a dash mounting plate that I glued to the dash. I went back to the windshield since there was MUCH LESS vibration effect being mounted to the windshield.

I've only used it on my windshield. The suction cup material is really amazing and acts as they advertise, and I don't think it would wreck your dashboard, but I don't know for certain.

It depends on the surface. If it's plastic, it sticks very well, but it doesn't stick at all on my leather dashboard.

I know that it sticks to the dash and doesn't slid on my car. I don't know how much your dash is sloped but it does grip pretty good. You could buy an additional suction cup window mount.

That's what it is - you can mount to window or dash. It clips off the suction cup so that the cup stays in place and you can take the device with you.

You can apply some pressure as you mount the unit to the windscreen. Cleaning the silicone surface from time to time does help. Or there may be some temperature differences as when you mount the unit and it then gets exposed to sunlight, where the air inside the mount expands.Anyway, even with a secure mounting, it won't stick forever (over a course of several days), so you might have to remount occasionally.I usually detach the unit whenever I have to park the car in the middle of sunlight for extended number of hours. I didn't do so with my previous unit and it bluetooth appeared to stop functioning as I assumed the electronics should have been worn due to excessive heat.

The mount will come off of the windshield if you slip a sharp point knife VERY CAREFULLY into the adhesive and SLOWLY work the point in. Once the mount starts to come loose, peeling it off is easier. Clean up the sticky mess with 90% alcohol. To re-mount, I use the 3M outdoor double side tape. It's kinda dark gray with the red peel off backing.
