My Chrysler PT Cruiser has a textured plastic dashboard. Will the gel suction mount hold onto a dash like this?

We have a 30-day return period in case this mount does not work on your dashboard. We also have replacement Smart Pads available for additional adhesion. Please email support@satechi.com for further assistance. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

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.

Yes, it is held to the car by the bolt in the tray. The rubber tray then gets placed on top. I ended up taking the post off and screwed a different holder thru the tray into the dash.

Not likely. I have not found a dash that can hold a suction-cup yet. It does come with a metal disc (as seen in the pic) that can be stuck to your dash to hold it. Otherwise, just use the windshield.

Yes it most likely will hold it, I have just my iPad in the holder and really like the mount but I have to prop it on the dash to keep it up in an upright position, other than that I love it. Don

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.

Yes I have mine mounted on dashboard. It comes with a round disk that you stick to the dashboard onto which the suction part clamps.

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.

Hi Christiane. I have a Jeep Liberty, BMW X5 and BMW 128i and I attach it to the bottom of the windshield on all these vehicles. The arm is very adjustable and makes it easy to see and use regardless of the vehicle i put it in. The suction cup is very strong and also has a slight adhesive on it to make it extra secure. This really is a great small tablet mount.

Hello there Eliner! Well I have been using my Koomus IPhone mount just on my windshields for about 2 moths now and I Love it! It holds my phone in place through any bump or turn and looks awesome. With the gel suction cup it stays in place ans I can move it at anytime. It's definitely a GREAT buy for the price and you will be happy with it.

I doubt that the case will stay put on the dash. The plastic interchangeable plate is mainly for styling and covers most of the outer TPU case (rubber-like material) that houses the phone. With that plate on, your phone will be sliding all over the place. You can choose to use the case without the plate, but I still don't think the TPU cover will provide enough of a grip to your dash.

My GPS (Tom Tom) came with a suction pad mount that attaches to the windshield of the car. On the dashboard mount there is a circular smooth pad that the suction pad adheres to. It holds very well.

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.

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 personally don't think so, it needs something to grip. You could get it, try it and send it back if it doesn't. If your dash cover is a fabric or some kind of fiber weave I don't think it will work.

It is designed for a flat surface and is rigid, not designed for a rolling surface. What I would opt for is adhere it to the windshield with 2 face heavy duty 3M foam tape used for automotive trim. also would save the dashboard from being holed, as it is a porus rubber compound and the screws would likely not hold when exposed to a vibrating load. For that matter the 3M tape may compensate for the dash's curvy surface.

Sticky pad holds very well, when I mounted gps on it, I noticed gps was shaking a little so I removed it without tools and no damage to my dash. The suction cup never fell off the windshield, I love it.
