If the vents on the car aren't tight and move easily, is the mount going to make the vents fall?

yes, it will. it happened to me. i have it clipped to the side vents which do not move. other than that it works fine.

Depending on how heavy your phone is. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which is heavy so it does make them fall eventually.

OK You see how there are (6) straps? Those ones that go near the taillights are going to fall out. I wouldn't chance it. Remember it's just tension and weight holding everything secure. The rack works. I still use mine to this day. I just wouldn't open the trunk with it on. At least they do on my Toyota Yaris. It may very well be cause of the design too.

This is our second mount, the first one didn't stick to the dash. The one we have now my husband had to use a little force and it went together fine

The prongs that attach this mount to the vent do not clamp on the vents, so they sort of hold it loosely. My mount slides back and forth in the vent, it's tolerable to me. But with vertical vents, it would slide to the bottom and may not stay secure. I would look for a mount where the prongs are spring loaded and actually use friction to (like a clothes pin) to attach to vents. IMO

The section of my dashboard that I have it on is smooth but the grip with the jelly thing on the bottom is so strong that I think it would. When I went to reposition the mount, it was hard getting it to unstick.

If you *could* get it to work! I think it might wear out quickly. The grip to the vent is controlled by a knob, so if you make it the maximum tightness it should hold. But I would think everyday normal motion of the vehicle would turn the adjuster and you'd find it on the floor.

Yes, in most cars, you'll be able to attach the sticky suction base to the top of the dashboard. In some cars that have a heavily textured dashboard, you may need to use the circular adhesive disk included. If you bring it out towards the front lip or edge of the dash, you'll be able to adjust the arm downward into a position that's convenient for you (very similar to where it would be if you were using an air vent). This is exactly how I use this mount. Love it!

If you clip it in such a way, so that the phone lies horizontally, then it can only move up and down. From my experience, it is best to clip on the lowest part of the vent, otherwise it will face down because it is kind of heavy. So no left & right movement.

The antenna will be fine in wind if you mount it properly. Don't secure it you might have a problem.

It comes off fairly (too) easily which is the problem. It falls off often just from the movement of the car and it is level. I would not recommend it to any one. It seemed like the perfect solution but was not.

You shouldn't have any problems, I have used mine in my car with a suction mount and it was very secure. This frame is very sturdy.

Without getting a custom fit for each exact vehicle it is impossible to say how stable it will be in your application. In the 2 different cars I've used it in the vent-mount configuration it has worked well. It's certainly not "rock solid" sitting inside flexible, plastic fins, but enough so to do the job.

Not sure if it does mount on the around vent ( it will depend on the diameter of the vent)But if it does it will be sloppy not solid. if you can spend the money on the suction cup.

Yes. We have it mounted to our car windshield, hanging down. I installed it a few months ago and it is still hanging tight.

Not positive.. but I would think the weight in it should keep it on the dashboard even if angled down. It is fairly weighty

I have no problems when the Windows roll down or up. My only complaint is when someone rides in the back seat, they have to reach under the panel & it comes off. I have a 2012 Honda CRV.

The dash mount is heavy, and has a non-slip bottom. It would depend on the angle, but unless it is greater than 45 degrees it shouldn't be a problem. If you do have a problem Amazon is incredibly gracious with returns and refunds as long as it is within the grace period.
