I have perfect horizontal vents, but I'm concerned about being able to take the mount BACK OFF easily. Does the inner clip remove easily?

Yes, you can take it off. On my car (2007 Camray) it takes a little maneuvering, but I have been able to get it off.

Very easily, and over time, maybe a little too easily.I guess don't let it get too hot, or it may affect the plastic.

I have not been able to take my mount off. Seems like it's kind of stuck there.

I don't think so. Because of the way it's constructed you can pretty much only use it for right-hand horizontal configuration. You can remove the clip, but the spacing of the holes don't allow for a tek lok.

There are two different versions of this, one with springloaded clips you push back and one with solid plastic clips you need to twist open. Don't do what my wife did with hers and yank it out because pieces of the vent may come too.

I never take mine out--I have the mount up in headliner at the very top with strong Velcro.. Nobody can really see it- Hold the mount and push with your other thumb?? When you get it out put a tiny bit of Vaseline or anything around the house in that notch. If that doesn't help use a nail file to take down the notch till it easier???

You can remove the outer brackets, but the top horizontal arm has to stay if you want to use the center mount.

The mounting clips attach to the air vent louvers with a spring loaded clip. It's kinda tricky getting the clips on the vent louvers but it stays put once you do. The clips are kinda delicate too so if you hit them accidentally, they will break. I've bought replacement clips on Amazon as well when mine broke.

Never had to remove mine. It can be done because I installed mine backwards in the beginning. Two little clips that you pull out or press in along the tracks.

You can unscrew the coil from the mount. A weather cap is also included for when you do this.

When retracted, the mount is very close to the wall. About 2-3 inches out. You would want that kind of space anyway, to allow air circulation and heat dissipation. The mount moves around pretty easily. However, you need to use 2 hands. It's not something you could move with a finger. Maybe it will get there eventually.

I would say yes it is easy to remove since you can adjust the pitch of the radar however you want with the dial on the side. What it really comes down to is how sticky the button is on the radar your purchasing this for in my opinion. I mean that little plastic button on most escorts is gonna break before this mount because I've yanked on my mount to see if i could even force it off of my windshield with no success. Not saying that it would happen though cause my 8500 is going strong and almost 2 years old and i frequently take mine off like your saying.

Part of the mount is attached to monitor, that part will come off without the wall portion being removed. It was an ordeal to install in the place where mine is installed and would be difficult to re-install more than to remove. Hence I would not recommend removing the unit unless it was for replacement. The mount works well after I added spacers because it was too close to wall to move freely without them.

That is not a problem. The z clip is offset so the clasp portion sticks out away from the surface it is mounted to. The picture may be misleading. The screws install from the back of the clip as it is facing you. You will not have a problem.

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

It's not exactly easy to remove. But with some engineering it could be secured. I have had mine for a year or so and still have it. Without securing it further than install.

I have found it very straightforward to remove and re-attach the "J mounts". I have moved them back and forth between vehicles on several occasions.

No it is not. First of all the universal mount is easily taken out. But you can open the sliding bottom door next to the mount to allow more air flow and, of course, open the upper vent. Frankly I would just remove the mount because, at this point, it isn't needed anyway.

It's really easy, theres a velcro strap on the top so it comes out that way. I love this mount because the velcro that goes around the middle is very sturdy and strong.
