The gel pad is good to use it more than one time on the dashboard? All the dashboard mounts I used before where only good for 1 time use ...

This is an excellent product. The strength of its suction is amazing and it is just as strong if you take it off and reapply it. At this point, I have ordered 3 of these and I am getting ready to order one more.

It supposed to be able to be used over and over again, but I don't use the gel pad. I screwed the mount on my dashboard and that is the strongest placement so far from all the mounts that I had.

I moved mine around several times without any Issues ... shouldn't be a problem.

it is a suction cup covered in a sticky surface. You can use it until it gets super dirty then the sticky will lose some of its adhesion, when this happens simply rinse it in the sink with warm water and let it dry and it will be as good as new.

The answer to that question is "Yes", the most you would have to do is re-prepare it by running warm water over the neoprene cup...

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 use the sticky pad mount and this unit is superior to the OEM unit and has worked well for the past 6 months. Highly recommended.

I use a "Garmin Friction Mount" by that just lays on the dash. It has a sticky bottom that holds very well. Amazon has them.

Gregory,You may also want to get the friction mount versus using the suction mount that comes with the unit. I ordered one at Amazon.com for about $28 (free shipping). The suction mount leaves a mark on the windshield that can be spotted by thiefs who might then break into your vehicle looking for your gps.You can hide the friction mount under your seat and then take the gps with you (best idea) or at least hide it somewhere (best not to put it in the glove compartment).Happy Thanksgiving.Allanwww.nosweatspeaking.com

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!

I don't recommend this item. It doesn't really stick to the dashboard, it did the first few days and after that useless... I actually just tried it again this weekend and "failed" hope this helps.

The suction cup sticks to windshield and the rest just sits on the dash to support the weight. It's non adhesive. Nothing actually "mounts" to the dashboard itself as that would probably damage the dashboard.

It does help. Although, I kind of wedge mine between the gear shifter and the dashboard display, and that space is not flat at all. So my dashboard mount basically floats in the air. I take mine out of the car on a hot day. That's the beauty of not having it permanently mounted. It's very portable.

Thanks I bought some and am going to try it out. My pads are getting worn out so I hope it helps. I should put the gell all over my core?

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.

You can use the helmet mount that it comes with just attach it to your dashboard. Or use that same mount rigged to a suction chip mount on the windshield.

Well the mount has a sticky suction so is reusable and has a latch to compress the air to keep the suction to dashboard together

Yes have been using the pad for the last year and have had no problems with it at all. And I detail daily boats, cars, motorcycles... Great product!

Will not handle much curve. However, I am using one of the non-slip jell pads that are sold for use on the dash with cell phones. it is thin, so I set the dashboard mount on it and do not have any problem with it slipping or moving.

I have never used a gel. The pads are very sticky and I am happy with them sans the gel.

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