How well does this mount stick to the dash without using the adhesive pad?

I had this in a car accident. It was stuck to the windshield. After the accident, not much left of the car, but this was still stuck to the windshield - and is now in my new car. Be sure to have a clean windshield before sticking it on.

My dash is textured and it sticks with no problem. The suction cup is a gel-like material.

Yes it should stick to any dash surface. It comes with a clean wipe to clean surface. My dash is slightly textured too and I wish I would have moved it up a little. Now it is on there too good and will not come off easily. Lol

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

The 'red pad' is covering sticky tape.. You would tape that part to your dash or whatever as a place you would suction the rest of the mount to on a regular basis.

I tried dash mounting, and it held great with a dash mounting plate that I glued to the dash. I went back to the windshield since there was MUCH LESS vibration effect being mounted to the windshield.

Without trying, it is impossible to know your situation, however, I use this pad with a window mount for a 7" GPS unit in a motorhome which has a strongly slanted dash. I have found that the pad does not move. My arrangement will not support the GPS as the GPS is heavy and I have had to block the bottom of the GPS with a block of wood to keep it up where it needs to be, but the Bracketron base pad has stayed in position. It is not a permanent mount, and designed to be moved, but when put into position on a maybe 30 degree angle, it has stayed in place for over a year. Hope that helps.

I bought it about three weeks ago. It served me well as a dashboard mount all the way down to South Florida. I did not have to use the adhesive. But last week the mount fell off the dashboard as I was swiveling it with one hand. I will use the adhesive now. It seemed to swivel OK the first 2 weeks. Can't tell you anymore than that.

It's suction mount. You won't need any adhesives for the mat or the GPS stand. My entire unit is adhesive-free.

It works well when the surface of contact between the dash board and the bound is large. Usually, this means that the area of the dash board where you place the mount should be as flat as possible or even concave (i.e., downwards). If it is convex upwards the friction may be not enough. Also, make sure you dust the dash board surface regularly, otherwise dust sticks to the bottom of the mount and the friction subsides. Then, if you make a sharp turn or accelerate fast, the thing may move or even fall to the floor.

It come with a small metal disk with adhesive on one side. It sticks to the dash the holder has a suction cup that sticks to the metal disk. I never tried it, so I don't know if it works.

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!

I live in Hawaii, it does stick to any surface, but more so the window. I changed the location of my mount and when it is on my dash at a angle it doesn't stay stuck for a long period. This could be because of the heat we have year round here in Hawaii.

I have mine mounted on the frame under the dash simply with double sided 3M adhesive squares (didn't want to drill into the body of my classic car) it works GREAT!

Depends on the texture of the dash. If grain permits good hold without sticky disk, definitely yes. Since I have not used the sticky disk, I cannot say how easy it is to move. My car is an Accent with a moderate textured dash. It holds fast using suction cup only.

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.

Keep in mind that you probably won't need a disk to mount this item properly to your dash. The suction cup has a tacky, reusable adhesive that allows it to stick to the majority of dash surfaces. I have it mounted to the FRONT of my dash so that the arm is parallel to the floor and it stays in place without any problems. Buy a mounting disk if you want but I think you'll find that you can do without it.
