Can this suction cup mount be removed and reinstalled each time the vehicle is used or must it remain attached to the windshield?

Just a suction cup can be removed or left. However if left too long can fall off. I attach it to my gas tank on my motorcycle and remove and replace when I stop and before I get ready to go. Food, Rest etc.

I remove it every time I go through the car wash to allow the inside windows to be washed. Whenever you reattach it put a couple drops of water on the suction cup. Hope this helps!

We have 2 of these. They are completely mobile and can be attached & removed at will.

Yes they can be easily removed and replaced. Very important that the mounting surface be flat and clean Eastern Goods

Yes, it can be removed, easily. Not why anyone say otherwise... it has a suction cup...

This also concerned me but no, the sticky base can be removed from the windshield. In fact I install the phone holder occasionally only when I need it to work as a GPS route guide. When not needed i remove it and keep it in my glove compartment. To preserve the stickiness of the base I replace the original base cover.I am not sure if the base may lose its ability to remain stuck to the windshield if the stickiness is lost.

Yes, it has a suction cup and it can be removed. However, it is very secure.

just take off the transparent plastic that comes added to the suction cup and press the sucction cup against the windshield and it holds.

Yes. However constant removal would probably shorten the lifespan of the suction cup a bit.

It comes with a suction cup mount that is designed to be attached to the windshield. However, other mounts are available for purchase at Amazon.com: type in "Garmin GPS mounts."

That's your call. With mine I just leave on the vehicle, you never know when you might need it ? I have in the past, removed them once, for me it was no rocket science to remove them or re-install them.

That's what it is - you can mount to window or dash. It clips off the suction cup so that the cup stays in place and you can take the device with you.

You use the clip that comes with the GPS unit that is attached to the windshield mount. Just pops off.

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.

No. The mount merely rests on the dash. It is not attached with anything (no adhesives) and relies on friction to keep from sliding around. I can't imagine a scenario where it would do damage, unless the dash got extremely hot and caused something to melt.

This item comes with a cam-lock style suction cup mount. Open the cam lever, push the cup onto your windshield, and close the cam lever to create a vacuum to hold the suction cup in place. So far it's held fine on my windshield and because the camera is so light, it should stay indefinitely. The camera has a slot in it (seen above the lens in the main item photo) which matches a locking tab on the suction cup mount. The mount has 3 dimensions of swivel and rotation so you can angle the camera how you need to.

No , not really, once you stick it too the dash, it won't stick again , just keeps coming off if you remove it once

I don't know that for sure but they do send a adhesive mounting pad that would stick to the dash and provide a smooth glass like surface for the suction cup to adhere to IF you want something permanently stuck to the dash. It would allow you to remove the suction cup mounted phone cradle and move it but not the mounting pad stuck to the dash

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!

There is a lever on the back that engages the suction cup, as well as a small tab coming off the back of the gel suction cup. You disengage the suction cup with the lever, then pull the tab upwards and the cup grudgingly releases it's hold on your dash. I've moved it in between two cars, and repositioned it once, and it hasn't left any mark.
