I want to use this on my 2014 ford fusion hybrid, so I am wondering if the clips can come off. I want to attach it to the dash part with velcro.

You would have to first cut the clips off. Once you do that it will never clip on again.

The sun shade has permament clips. You would have to break them off to use with dash mounted gps, but I guess it could be done. Will it fit your gps?

Imagine you could cut the 4 tabs and put Velcro right above where the tabs/clips were. I have used ours several times and have had no problems with the tabs/clips.

Sun Shade just slips over the GPS from the top. Should not interfere with dash mounting; with that being said, GPS unit is huge. I bought it for my RV. it would look strange in a mid size car.

The clips are molded as part of the visor. To remove the mounting points you would have to cut them off with an exact o knife or fine hacksaw blade. If you left a small stub at the base it would probably give you an anchor point for your Velcro mount...

The clips are on the back and you could cut them off easy with anything. I fact, I returned 2 of them because the clips broke on both. They look good, but bad attachment clips.

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

yes, we used the clips in conjuntion with the rightline carrier which also scratched the bumper. We ended up putting a thick towel on the bumper then the carrier as well as using face cloths with the clips. Hope this helps

I think the clips are what you have to worry about. I bought it for an 04' Civic and the clips are not right, I called the seller he said, "bend them". It sitting in the same box in my garage, never actually got to use it!

There should be little sliding type clips on the back. They do NOT hold on well at all, mine kept popping off, at really bad times, like when I was driving.

You can take it off the windshield when you want, if you use the adhesive mount on the dash, you can remove the mount but not the adhesive "puck" without making it useless.

It looks like you can, but the back gear of the clip is molded to the case. It definitely wasn't meant to come off easily :)

I don't know what a dash cover is. Ours is leather and it holds. The bottom of the friction mount is a fabric, possibly suede leather and things do not slide on it. If your dash cover is something like a loose cloth that moves then I think there could be a problem unless you could place it close enough to the windshield. Its got like small rocks inside and is sort of like a bean bag, if that will help you to imagine. Just think - a suede bean bag. Would it slide off your dash cover? As long as the dash cover doesn't move it would be fine, so placement could also be a consideration. From my experience with buying from Amazon and their great return policy, if you think it might work, go for it. Good luck!

I just pulled the clip off of the suction cup mount and put it on the friction mount. If you don't have the suction cup mount I don't know where you would get the clip.

Hello Peter.Assuming the product you got is OK, then it fits very tightly to the dash board. There is a clips you need to open 1st, i assume you did that. 2nd apply some water on the sucking cup and clean the dashboard area. now close the clips. It should hold very tight. This product is excelent, and you should not have any problems with it.

Interesting question: I am going to try mounting it in my new car and see what happens. I can velcro tape it to the dash. Never thought of it but this may be another application for the same equipment.

Yes just remove the Allen bolt out of the pin with the supplied Allen wrench and the clip comes right off. Very easy to do. Hope that helps.

The little thing that sticks out underneath the clips needs to be secure against your dashboard. I know this is kinda vague but I hope it helps and fixes your problem.

Yes you can. It is one of the hardest clips to put on pants I have and have many holsters--removing it is a good idea.

Yes, they can break, I've broken the 'fit together clips' on two so far. The first one broke freeing a snow plough pick up truck and the second one broke on my car in snow deeper than its underbelly. Originally I was going to throw out the broken ones but instead I'm going to try wiring them together with heavy gauge wire. I can't see why the won't work, its just a different way of connecting them. The clips are like interlocking plastic hooks.

There are no clips with these. They have adhesive strips on the shade. Small part of visor slips into area by mirror, otherwise its all tape. Took about 5 minutes each to install. Have had them on my car for about 8 months now and have had absolutely no issues at all with them. No leaks and find that the wind noise is actually lower with them than without them, if you have the window partially or completely open.

It won't attach to a fabric. The suction base requires a smooth hard surface like the vinyl dash material. In my case, I took the base off and used Velcro to attach the clamp portion only to my vinyl dash in order to keep it low enough not to obstruct the view.
