Will this mount/suction cup leave markings on my dashboard?

I've only used it on my windshield. The suction cup material is really amazing and acts as they advertise, and I don't think it would wreck your dashboard, but I don't know for certain.

Has a suction cup similar to GPS/Radar detectors. Works well. I was able to run the wire around the liner of the windshield to hide it. It sits discretely behind my rearview mirror.

It HAS to go on the dashboard. So, it will always be at least partially visible

The mount is not permanent. It utilizes the same suction-cup design as many other mounts. It does come with a "puck" that you can (semi-permanently) attach to your dash via a sticky pad. This then provides the needed, flat, glossy surface for the suction cup.

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.

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

Heard a customer mentioning she needed an adhesive disc to mount it on the dashboard. Is this true?

Sticky pad holds very well, when I mounted gps on it, I noticed gps was shaking a little so I removed it without tools and no damage to my dash. The suction cup never fell off the windshield, I love it.

My dashboard is pretty porous but it sticks. The suction cup has a soft gummy feel and is sticky but leaves no residue.

Not really, dashboards are usually not smooth, but bumpy. A glass like surface is required for suction cups.

I can tell you the magnet is very strong. We, however, have not been able to use ours (I bought 6), because the peel off adhesive will not stick to our dashboards. I was told to clean the spot with alcohol but haven't done that yet.

Oh, sorry I aanswered for the eadar detector. No the dashboard magic mounting pad is awesome. Works great!

The mount is not supposed to "stick" to the surface. It has a tacky finish to aid in skidding or slipping around. My experience is that if the surface loses tackiness is because the surface is dirty, as in dusty. A good washing off of the pad and a good wet wipe of the dash and all is good.

Good Evening, for I have read the other responses and for what it's worth the adhesive on the back of this disc is very good for it is made from the 3M company to company and makes Scotch tape for at least mine was made that way and the other two responses to your question that I read I believe they did not attach the disc properly to the dashboard because it is important and I mean very important that you thoroughly clean the area that you are going to attach the desk to and then use some rubbing alcohol to do a final clean because if there are anything on the surface the adhesive won't stick but if the surface is dry and clean this disc will stick to where I could not remove it using my fingertips trying to pry it up after it has been put in place and I use mine to hold a large suction cup that holds a digital camcorder and I have had this installed since last winter and have never had a problem as of yet but I do not know the size of suction cup that you are using but if it fits this disc and you properly clean the area before applying the disc then I think you won't have any problems. Hope this helps...

You can stick the "black round thing" anywhere on the dash board. Then you can attach your garmin mount like attaching to windshield. Make sure you decide where you want it on the dash board (once you stick it, it is kind of stuck there for ever). Remove the thin film on the white tape (hard to remove). Once removed, it's very sticking. Before sticking it on the dash board plan ahead. Good luck!

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.

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.
