Don't Use It For Roof Mount

Suggests that it can be used to mount to roof as well as a pole.  No way will it work on a roof unless possibly the roof is almost vertical.

The rivet nuts they provide would not hold. I now have to figure out a way to secure this bracket to my roof and waterproof it. I have 4 holes in the roof of my cab now!!!

The magnets work great, but for use on a tecxtured surface, it is absolutely horrendous.  The back of the mount slowly lifts off the surface, and withing a few minutes, the weight of the phone has pulled it so far forward that the whole things just falls off.

I never even mounted my TV with this. first off..  it's not designed to hit studs as the short cable length means you will be mounting into dry wall with atleast one of the anchors.  with the long cable you do it.. but the your cable is running out from your mounts and looping around... it's a bad way to do it.  secondly, the build quaility is frightening.  its a steel cable that runs into plastic mounts.  the cable is held in the plastic mount by a bead or something glue to the cable that is too large to pass through the hole in the plastic mount.  when you take it apart and look at it and decide whether you want to use this to keep your 1500 dollar tv on the wall - and more importantly, for keeping it from falling on any children that might choose to play under/around the tv mount - it's just not worth it.  I started mounting my tv with this but the weight of the tv started to pull the drywall anchor out - and i repeat.. it will not be easy or even possible to hit 2 studs with this system.

there are slim steel mounts that will hit 2 studs and will anchor using heavy duty LOCKING metal hardware.  I bought one from costco for about 80 bucks after I was very unhappy with this mounting hardware.  The 80 dollar mount (probably could have bought cheaper from amazon had i been willing to wait a day or 2 on shipping) has allowed me to sleep better at night knowing the tv is mounted to the wall properly and i think i only lost an 1/8th inch in depth from the wall.

With the extremely high quality, fairly cheap, very low profile mounts out on the market today - this outdated picture frame hanging way of doing things just doesn't make sense anymore.  I think this might have made sense when LED slim tvs first hit the market and most mounts were 2 or 3 inches thick.  These days heavy duty steel mounts can be about a 1/4 inch slim.  cosidering you will probably have 1/4 inch cables behind the tv... that's kind of the minimum anyway.

Not useful for my car.  I ended up using a vent-mounted unit, which is out-of-the way for me in my Subaru.

the suction cup is not strong enough to hold my iPhone 5s when attached to windshield.  It keeps falling down so it is useless.  Unless u have a smooth flat surface on your dash to mount it, I wouldn't get this.  Other aspects of this mount seem to be decent though.

This is a very nice looking dash panel but it is poorly designed leading to unstable/shaky mounting platform.  After installing this dash panel I noticed that my phone would shake which I didn't think much of becuase I was just using it bluetooth music.  However in I'm now preparing to head to the Black Hills Jeep Jamboree and thought it would be a good idea to have a dash cam.  I have an old helmet cam that I used in Iraq and was thinking that would work nice until I realized that they have great Dashcam apps for my phone.  I spent a night downloading and testing the top rated apps in the playstore and settled with DailyRoads Voyager.  I need to find a Jeep specific app becuase it would be nice to have a cam, gps, inclinometer all together.  Anyway I tested it out on the way to work this morning and there is no way that this will work.  It's so shaky just going down the road at 25 mph you wouldn't be able to watch more then 30 seconds without getting sick, not to mention what happens if you hit a small bump.  I started looking at the mount arm, and it's just too long of a run of cheap plastic.  It is only anchored by the one screw that is in the bottom center of the tray so from that screw over and then up is all free standing and can't provide a solid platform.  I started looking and I could probably drill a hole throw the riser arm and add an addition screw that would provide a tremendous amount of support but I don't really want to make a perminant change to my dash board at this time.  I just ordered the Rugged ridge version similar to this that appears to have some additional support claws to help brace the riser.  This product does look good but is cheaply made does not provide a stable mount

Suction cups won't work, sun visor keeps falling while I'm driving. Its not safe. I had to use command adhesives before I was able to use it.

I bought these racks so I could mount 2 kayaks on my roof.  I specifically purchased folding racks which are considerably more expensive so that I would not have to remove them when to enter/exit my garage.

The racks work well and are sturdy.  They fold down nicely and all hardware including bow/stern ties and cam buckle tie downs.  The price was reasonable.

So why only 2 stars?  This may be related to my application but here is why.

I mounted these on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe with factory non-symetric oval cross bars.  I opted for using the flat bottom mounting plates as they seemed to contact the roof racks best.  I then loaded an 11' sit-on-top Ocean brand kayak.  I strapped it down tight with the cam buckle straps and the bow/stern ties.  I'm 6'1" and 200 lbs so trust me, the racks were well tightened.

About 30 minutes of driving at 65 MPH and the front of the kayak shifted 30 degrees sideways.  I freaked out and pulled over.  When I got out I found the flat bottom mount on the front rack had totally bent (from the wind force against the kayak) which caused the rack to lose friction/tightness with the roof cross bars and thus front rack slid sideways to the edge of the roof.  Very scary.

I think the sit-on-top kayaks cause more turbulence because they are not symmetrical (unlike sit-in kayaks).  If you have flat roof racks or round roof racks and sit-in kayaks this may work for you but if you have oval cross bars and sit-on-top kayaks, be warned.

Pack'em - You need to double the thickness and strengthen the bottom mounts to avoid potential disaster/lawsuits.

UPDATE - After a couple of years of using this....I HATE this roof. Do your self a favor and buy a one piece. The genius design of this thing fills up with water and then drips on you all the time! So friggin sick of this thing. Just have to make sure we don't have the SxS out in the rain I guess. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying a roof.

 Original review - I wouldnt recommend this product. The install is a real pain. Things don't line up the way they should. Be much simpler if they just had dedicated mounting points but you have to create your own. And where you are supposed to put your mounts there is a tonne of space between the roll bar and roof so you have to put spacers in there. My biggest complaint by far is that there are big indents where the bolts go that hold the pieces of the roof together. So you have a bolt going through the roof at the lowest point where water can accumulate and sit. Stupid.

Tried using as an outdoor switch on a pole for a light. Does not fit onto weather proof box tightly, gasket is too small.  Bought two, only one had screws to hold it to box which are way too long anyways.  trying a diffrent brand.  Not worth the price, and not acceptable for this application

The hood seems to be well constructed with smooth bends and tight seams.
I didn't like and didn't use the recommend installation procedure as I don't think it's safe. They instruct you to insert the plastic wall anchors but they won't work in sheet rock as the section of the anchor that expands is inside the wall not the sheet rock. They must be made for cinder block or brick.
Also their idea of leaving the screw heads sticking out about 1/4" so you can hang the hood on it is not safe. The screw heads are barely wide enough to not pop through the top of the keyhole mounting slot and the bottom of the slot is twice the size of the screw head. So the hood is just hanging on the  screws (you are not instructed to tighten them) and a accidental bump up on either side could cause the hood to fall off the wall. If you don't put the screw holes perfectly level and try to level as little as 1/2 degree one or the other screws will be in the bottom of the slot and the hood can not be secured to the wall. What I did was use a 1/4" toggle bolt on a piece 1/4" all thread rod. Place the toggle on one end and a 1/4" fender washer and nut on the other end. Push the toggle into the sheet rock hole until it expands then pull it back and tighten down the nut. This gives you two 1/4" studs on which to hang the hood. I put the rubber bumper washers over the studs and nuts and hung the hood on the studs. Then reach inside the hood where the studs stick through and install another 1/4" fender washer and nut on each stud. It's very tight inside the hood and you may have to move a cable to get the fender washers on. Tighten the nuts down using a ratchet and socket. A 1/4" drive works best because it's smaller. No room in there for a nut driver. Now the hood will not fall off the wall.
The hood lights are very pretty but are practically useless for illumination of the range top. They make a nice nightlight for your kitchen, otherwise useless. They should be 3-4 times as bright. My old hood top provided a lot more light.
The hood fan doesn't work so great either. I was blackening chicken on front burner and the hood captured maybe half of the smoke. The rest filled the kitchen. It seemed to do better if the the back range element is used vs the front. The 28" distance between the hood and the top of my range is well within their criteria (25-35 inches) of the hood.
It does look pretty but functionally it's Meh

This mount worked ok until the Adhesive tape in the back started to come of from the sun light.  Would i tell people to buy this, probably not.  I also noticed my phone moving upon hitting some bumps on the road.  Couldn't find a way to contact seller.

As fate would have it, my window cracked from a rock. Anyways, as I was trying to remove my cell phone mount, I found out the suction cup melted to my window and stuck to it permanently this last summer. Didn't matter to me since my windshield was being replaced. Anyway. Don't mount this to your windshield. Use the stickerplate and THEN mount it to your dashboard.

I was going to use this to replace my dash cam mount but it's too thin and small to do the job. Worse of all after I put the 3M on the plastic mount it literally didn't stick well. I removed it with just two finger.

Overall: Definitely not for car mount but maybe for something else. 3M is too weak for heavy duty stuff.

Do not buy this product. Ive had it for a month and the top around the roof is already deteriorating. Its a complete sham. It would be fine for inside a garage to keep dust off it but it is NOT waterproof and is already falling apart. This vendor also doesnt allow returns - complete waste of money.
