Is there an upgrade replacement for the worthless windshield mount that comes w/ this unit? It falls off the windshield EVERY SINGLE TIME I use it.

Sorry I have no idea. I always have mine mounted on the dash. I have no problem with it coming off from there, but then I have it mounted on the plastic disk that came with my old Garmin. That disk is premanently glue to dash and then my new ones snaps on on off with the usual suction cup

I have had no problems with the present mount it snapped on and is solidly in place.

Garmin Portable Friction Mount - Frustration Free PackagingI purchased the Garmin Portable Friction Mount and have am really pleased with it. I don't like having the GPS up on the windshield and this works well for me.

wet the back of the suction cup and then press it against the windshield and snap the lever. makes it very hard to removea little saliva works every time.

I'm not sure about any different windshield mount, but the dash mount (the weighted base) works nice.

I use weighted sandbag mount that just rests on the dashboard. Works OK for me. (it is a Garmin product).

I am also looking for a mounting device, but I don't want any yhting that is permanent or that will leave sticky stuff on my dash. Have you come up with any ideas

I used the adhesive disk from the mount that came with the unit Make sure it's in the right spot, it won't come off I ended up using. The vent mount Works great

I agree with the other answers you received. If Amazon is unwilling to replace your mount, just purchase another one. Save yourself the frustration. By the time you figure out how to correspond with the factory in China, you could have a new one. This, by the way, is where you will find your answer -- the factory in China. None of us users would even bother trying to get parts. We would just purchase a new unit. It's an excellent mount for a non-commercial user and worth twice the price they sell for at Amazon.

When you have it located on the windshield, hold it in place with one hand while turning the knurled base at the windshield clockwise. You will not be able to move it onece it is sucked on. To remove it, turn the base knob counter-clockwise. This unit will not fall off if you turn fully clockwise when you put the windshield mount on.

I'm pretty sure mine is the LX. I measured the clip but I'll have to check if I posted it on my last answer. Just home from vacation and the Tomtom didn't fall off the windshield even once! :)

Sorry no. The same thing happened to me. I no longer use it. It just hangs from my rear view mirror now. :(

try searching on NAVMAT... works well. Also, Bracketron has a cupholder mount that is very nice. Available at BestBuy

No, I bought the windshield and did not get around to installing it until the return period was over only to find that it is several incles too narrow. Very dissapointing and a costly mistake! I hope this helps

Hi Mark. No it's not. It fits perfectly but fragilly made. The swivel part broke. Would I buy again, yes because they're hard to find now. Just leave the mount on your windshield. Constant removal will break it, my case. Hope this help?!

I thought about the same thing, and checked to see if a bracket from another windshield I had would work, but unfortunately, the holes didn't line up. If you have some brackets that you don't mind modifying a bit, it could probably be done.

I could not remember for sure which model I had so I went out to look. All I could find was Tom Tom XL. That being said I would absolutely not recommend this product. I should have waited longer to give my review. It worked like a champ for a couple of weeks and then the suction cup gave out and it would not stay on the windshield at all. It was a complete waste of money. I ended up jerry rigging the thing with industrial strength velcro to mount it on my dash. At least it stays there now. I hope this helps.

Not sure how you went through 3 suction mounts! Make sure you clean your the area of the windscreen with an Isopropol (alcohol) cleaner before putting it on. We just travelled with our 660 around Australia (30,000Km) and it would occasionally fall off the screen due to the extremely hot temperatures - other than that it was brilliant. The maps could be a little bit better - I say that tongue in cheek as some of the places we went barely had roads and were 500Km from the nearest person :)

Is your dashboard clean of dust and such?? If not then clean it then retry the mount

I use the window suction cup mount as I knew the adhesive would not hold. I suggest going to a hardware store and buying a more adhesive tape and cut to size.

When I got mine it did not include the mounting system with it. Im pretty sure you have to order it separate and it is about $150.00. But after you buy it, the mounting system you can get is a no tool quick connect system. Very nice actually. And if you get it, instead of the standard windshield, order the spoiler type windshield. I love it.
