Is this likely to mark or damage my car's dashboard. It is a slightly textured vinyl or vinyl-like material.

I've been using it on my black textured dashboard for several months now. The only physical damage that may occur is a sunspot. If you maintain your car occasionally slightly relocating The holder then this could be avoided

I don't think so, it's done with a suction cup. My dashboard is a plasticy material as well, but I actually stick it to my windshield. It's adjustable enough to be able to position it from either dash or windshield.

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.

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.

Should be no problem whatsoever. I also had all kinds of scrapes and scratches on my bumper and had actually considered having it airbrushed before applying the BumperTek. But decided the BumperTek would cover up most of them, and it did. And there was no issue getting it to adhere to the bumper right over the scratches. Bill

I have mine on my windshield & sometimes on the sunroof. Can't use my dash since its textured but if you don't have texture & its smooth, you should be able to.

The item is made from automotive grade vinyl, but the item has a denim style pattern to it. Thanks, PUR

I have a Honda Accord 2007, dash is textured. From the time I placed it on the dash, I have not removed it once. So far, its sticking. My concern is if I take if off, I won't be able to place it on again. Since I purchased it when the weather was starting to cool down, I'm not sure how heat will affect it. But so far, I'm still very happy with the product. I use it daily due to my job.

It's got a a silicon feel to it and is slightly resistant to sliding around, but I don't think it will last on a dashboard.

I don't know I didn't use it on my windshield. I use it on my dashboard. Because that was one of my concerns.

I have that pad, is a sticky one with a cobra radar on top. Unlucky for me the heat of the radar plus the sticky pad combined it burned my new 2014 car dash. When I say this is because the sticky pad has the property by it self to damage plastic dash, imitation wood clear, and so many other dash finishes. Now I'm looking how to cover the damage on my new dash..... :( my dash has a granulate texture and you can see on the sticky pad spot how those granulates almost disappear, on the section where the radar has his spot for the inside electronics you can almost see the cobra logo stamped on the dash....

Leo, I put my decal on crooked and my husband was able to straighten it. That being said, my decal has withstood this, as well as, the weather elements and car washes, quite well. Enjoy!!!

Mine wouldn't stick for anything either... After I left it in the car for a couple of weeks, it stuck just fine. Maybe the glue started to cure or something because now it's stuck good. Won't budge. Also, make sure your dash isn't freshly cleaned - if it's too clean, it won't stick.

It bent our bumper. I haven't removed it so I couldn't tell you if it leaves scratch marks.

I have'nt used the disk myself. The suction cup works well on my textured dash. The adhesive backing on the disk I suspect is harmless. Any Residue can be removed with mineral spirits. I purchased the Arkon # mg279.

My Trailblazer has a slightly curved dashboard top also along groves all over the surface. To my surprise, it stuck to the surface and still has not come off even with this hot weather. As I previously mentioned, just make sure you wipe the surface down (I used Windex) and let it dry before you mount.

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

The material was like aluminum foil with an adhesive back. It was thin and hand to be handled carefully to keep from creating creases. If the surface is smooth and very clean, my guess it would stick. Any bumps or imperfections would imprint and be visible, however.

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?
