Will this work on a vertical vent? My Lexus's vent is vertical and other ones that I have tried keeps flopping down.

I don't see why it wont, it attaches very sturdily to my vent , and doesn't fall off when you are on rough roads.

It can be mounted vertical but towards the bottom. It works by heating the air, witch circulates it.

I have it mounted horizontal but don't see why it can't be mounted vertical . Great product !

The deflector attaches with magnets so it will certainly not stick to a plastic vent. You could try resting it on top of the vent but without the magnetic adhesion I do not think it will work as well.

Well, it mounts magnetically. If the unit was metal around the vent, it could work. However I would think this would cause the air to shoot straight up or straight down as you cannot adjust where deflector aims.

Theres a little gravity flap inside. I'm not really sure why it's there. It would still work if the unit were horizontal and on it's back (indoor vent screen facing up).

This could be a "yes or no answer": I doubt that this will fit "vertically strutted air vents", as the back clips are stationary and NOT movable/twistable. ALTERNATIVELY: You CAN twist the support body (that part that has the actual clips on it) and they WILL fit in that configuration on your vertical vents, OR suggest you try for one that will accept "vertically oriented air vent slats". Hope this helped you in your decision making process ;) (I checked out a few pages of "air vent clips" and they ALL seemed to be made specifically for the horizontal configuration~~go figure? )

I have mine vertical with no problem, however I have a fan on it. The cooler you keep the bulb the longer it will last.

I have it hung vertically and it works great. If you want to see it working, I'll be posting pictures when I post my review (I'll post it in the next couple days).

Yes, I have one of the base mounts set up using vents...Works fine, just take care when installing, the first time I compressed it all the way and when released the spring got dislodged...It was a simple fix and taking a bit more care next time I have not had any issues. That base also has a small foot at the bottom that allows for changing the angle of the unit.

The part that holds the phone is on a ball joint, and you have the ability to turn the phone left, right, up and down. It works best if you clip it to horizontal air vents for the clips, this provides the best support. I have not tried it with vertical vents.

Hi, you have to make sure the 2 hooks are until the end of the vent and as separated as possible. There is going to be some slipping but will be less.

Yes - it won't work on vertical vent slats, only horizontal. It the vents themselves are vertical rather than horizontal, it shouldn't matter, as long as the vent is wide enough for the two clips to fit in, but the little slats that direct the air from the vent must be horizontal.

It can be used with the vents that are adjustable as you mentioned.Mine flip up and down and it works fine.

This will work with some slightly curved smooth dashboards. Make sure that the dash is completely clean (no lint or armor all) and the suction cup is clean as well. If it has dirt, run under water to remove dirt and let air dry. Do not wipe suction cup. Good luck.

I am using it on a Saturn and a Nissan Pathfinder. This clip design is different than other vent clips as it does NOT have the hooks on the back side of the clips that are dependent on the width of the vent vanes. This design doesn't hook on the back side of the vanes so the depth of the vanes is no longer important to the clip working as other designs. I would comfortably say this clip would work on any vent fairly well.

As the others have said, it isn't designed for vertical vent louvers. You could clamp it on the vertical vent, and if you tighten it, it should hold more or less, but you wouldn't be able to use the support leg that is meant to rest on the bottom of the vent and/or the dash. In your case, the support leg would be facing to the right or left, not doing any supporting. But, that being said, if you want to give it a try, the connector does allow you to pivot your GPS, so at least it would be facing the correct direction. Maybe you could contact Garmin and see if they make (or will make) a model for vertical vents...? As the others have said, it isn't designed for vertical vent louvers.
