How do the No Slip Gel Pads hold up to direct sun in a hot car?

The pads are fine in the sun. No problem with that. The real question is "how will my phone do in the direct sun?" I have been very happy with these. The best location in my truck is on the top of the steering column. There is a nice flat spot in front of my dash display. On my other car, the pad is on the dash on a curve. It performs well even on a curved surface. Hope this helps.

my husband has had one of these for about 5 years he has cleaned it multiple times and it still holds up great! it feels pretty sticky in direct sun but has never left any residue on either surface. his is not always in the direct sun though, it sits on center console.

My husband has it on the front part of the dashboard in his semi truck. It's at an almost vertical angle. Depending on the direction were headed it's in direct sun from time to time. He has a small phone and it sticks wonderfully. I have an iPhone 5c with a case and it works great also. He was amazed about how well it works upright. It was 109 degrees in the truck yesterday when it was being repaired and it still works.

After a year I had mine melt into the dash one day in Seattle. I have a review with pictures in that section. It has seen hotter weather but something about today (68 degrees measured in the shade) and it decided to melt.

Mine have held up in the direct hot South Texas sun with no issues whatsoever! I've tried a few other brands in the past, and these work much better than the others!

Had a couple of heavy downpour and they withstand real well. No issues at all, installed on a 2015 wrx.

I use them for riding my motorcycle and have not had any issues with them slipping. They do come with a strap which I used when I went zip-lining but normally just use the temples.

I had my Sticky Pad on the car dash board all summer, with my sunglasses on it, and it was fine. It does get hot in Alabama, so I can say sticky pad will not melt in direct sunlight, and does not stop working.

No,as it's on the top of the car I'd recommend silicone. Where as with this product you do have to keep reapplying it to keep the seals from drying out again. Hope this helps you; however this is a great product as far as I'm concerned but not for a sunroof.

I have only had these for lass than a year so I have not had any sun fading or cracking. I am more concerned about roadsalt here in our PA winter climate.

I have found that the pads hold body heat. The a/c might help but you will be a lot warmer on the pads.

Mine didn't stick the first time I used it. It was summertime and hot. Put it on the front of the dashboard and it fell off within a few hours out in the sun.

I use them on my golf cart. They don't get direct sun or rain on them, but they are outside all the time. So far they have performed very well.

I believe they will work well in any application. I move automobiles at an auction after dark a couple of nights a week in the bitter cold and I wear them with sneakers. Heat Holders are a great product. I own three pairs!

It is very flexible. I bought one to use on the dashboard of my car to set my GPS on. This did not work, my dashboard has a textured surface and the pad would not adhere to it. I do think it would adhere well to smooth surfaces if anti-slip is what you are looking for. From my limited experience with silicone rubber, 350-480 degrees F is usually the range for recommended upper operating temperatures depending on the silicone rubber formulation used. I think 600 degrees F may be on the edge of failure.

I got mine in September so it hasn't been too hot. They seem pretty well made and they will stick very well to whatever you put them on so I wouldn't advise you to stick them in the car. I am very pleased with these tags. Just wish I had more places to use them. Use NFC task launcher to write to them, it is super easy to use.

Yes they are. I got a pair of my own for my car, and I LOVED them. They are extremely durabale and are coated with polyethylene on the back wich is like the silver duck tape you'd use for pressure-sensitive things and they are weather-resistant. I have drove with those over 90* F and under 30*F and through heavy storms and dry humidity, and they are still in perfect condition. If you really want those, I highly recommend getting them, and don't worry about the air blubbles you might develope upon putting them on, cause the heat will flatten them out. Hope I helped answering your question!! :)

In my car, the straps are behind front passengers heads, and in front of (and above) rear passengers heads. We run them up thru the grab handles and it really is not an issue. My car has no roof rack, and the carrier has never slipped a bit - thru rain or 100+ heat.

We added 2 non-slip rubber pads to the bottom of each panel that we picked up at the hardware store that are similar to the product linked below. I put a small nail in each pad to hold them. So far, so good, no slipping and a relaxing sauna experience. Shepherd Hardware 9971 2-Inch Surface Grip Adhesive Non Slip Pads, 8-Pack

They do not but they have Velcro tabs on the underside to keep them in place. I've had no slipping issues with my '09 328 convertible.

Our car has a sunroof and we didn't have a problem. The only problem we had was that we didn't buy the blanket to go underneath the roof bag, we ended up having scuff marks on the car due to that, our fault.
