Is there underlying adhesive damage to my vinyl dash if I move it or will it clean up?

I used silicone to attach the mount as tape will come off in the heat. There was a lot of wobble with my larger RV Garmin, so I used Velcro on the left side to hold it solid.

Without seeing your dash board, I would assume that at sometime you may have put some type of "protection" on your dash. If so, you would nee to clean the area with alcohol or mineral spirits. If you are trying to stick it on an area that has texture, you might need to use some double sided tape.

My adapter, as installed on my bumper, shows no scratches after several uses. If I decided to remove it, I am sure that the bumper would have scratches where the adapter was previously installed. I don't think that a piece of shelf liner would change that fact. If you are worried about the pristine appearance of your bumper, you should plan on installing this (or any other) adapter once and leaving it in place forever.

My dash is plastic, it works super well. The suction cup has a no-slip grip ring around.

No, I don't believe it would leave a mark. It's just double stick tape. The instructions on the package say that if you want to remove it, soak the tape with some oil and let it sit for a couple hours to soften it up. I haven't had to do this, since mine is still on, but I really don't think it will hurt a thing. They even include a couple of extra pieces of tape so you can re-install it if you like.

I have not removed mine, however it is vinyl so its seems fairly easy to remove without damaging the surface its placed on.

The adhesive and suction are very strong an sturdy. I have mine stuck to my dashboard and I do not remove it. However I'm sure, as with most adhesive backings, that if u keep removing it, it will probably wear down. I don't know about that company's policy on replacements.

I would say yes it will leave a residue. The back is very stick and I remember having to pull a small piece up and it leaving a tacky residue behind. You can use goo gone or another adhesive remover to help.

I think it would depend on the adhesive that was used to stick the GPS on in the first place. If it's kind of a sticky rubber basedadhesive I would bet that this remover would work. If it is that kind of adhesive my guess would be that it will work without anydamage to your dash. It's not like a harsh solvent that eats plastic. Good luck.

Does the dash sticky disc permanently bond with the dash? Will I be able to remove the sticky disc from my dash board in the future without damaging the dashboard?

You won't be able to just pry it off, without risking damage to your dash. It can and I did remove one with adhesive remover. Work it around the edges with q-tip. A real light oil will work also.

I think it might peel off paint. It has a pretty tacky/sticky/grippy adhesive. I'd go for removable vinyl instead. It would stay up for even a couple years and still come off well. The permanent is supposed to stay.

Easily and quickly as long as you do not need the separate adhesive sticker to handle a very textured dashboard. If you are adhering to glass or not highly textured dashboard there is no problem in moving it.

Did you clean it with an alcohol solution tissue first?And next... I hope that this does not sound foolish but did you remove the fine cellophane backing sheet? I have three of these in different vehicles, and have not had a problem of adhering even with multi curves in the dash.

I assume it depends on what type of surface the item was stuck to. For our window sills the adhesive could be 'rolled off' just by using fingers. For our living room table it came of more easily. Perhaps try some 'Goo Gone' or other product?

I'm not sure if it depends on what type of dash you have. I have a Volkswagen and my dash is a rough plastic and it didn't really stay on well.

My dashboard is the same; textured. I didn't have a problem with any kind of damage, but there is an issue with placement. The way my windshield is designed, during a normal day here in San Diego, California, the sun really heats up and is not a good mix with my iphone. It doesn't matter where I place the unit, so that it's accessible, heating up is a problem. You might want to think about that before you buy.
