i Trek IG PSTARA Garmin Sticky Mount
In deciding to purchase a Garmin Nuvi, I also researched many different mounts to try and find the perfect set-up to use in my older Ford Explorer. I didn't want to glue a disc to the top of my dash.. and in fact there aren't a lot of flat areas to use near the driver in this vehicle. The vent clip mount was spectacularly unsuccessful! Luckily, one of my purchases (as a matter of fact the most inexpensive of all) was this ChargerCity Adhesive Mount. I found the underside of a flat ridge, just below the radio, big enough to place this mount. I had already decided that I would also sink a small 3/8" metal screw into each corner of the mounting plate, just to be sure that it didn't loosen.. but the 3M adhesive that is used on this mount is some serious glue. I don't believe I would have needed to add the screws. In fact be sure it's where you want it when you peel the paper and place it. I would hate to try and wrestle this thing off, after once touching the adhesive to any surface!
The nuvi clip that holds the GPS and attaches to this (or any) mount is a very tight fit. You need to use a little muscle to push it on and pull it off of the ball part of the mount. It is absolutely no problem with this spot on my dash and the solidness of this mount itself.
The ChargerCity Adhesive Mount couldn't have been designed to be any more effective than it is.. and I couldn't be any happier with it than I am!
I've had it mounted in an older Silverado that has a very rough ride on bumpy roads. This little mount sticks on tight and my old Nuvi 350 doesn't budge. I just purchased a newer Nuvi 265T for my other car so I'm buying another one of these sweet little mounts that are a fraction of the cost of other mounts. BTW vent clip mounts aren't a good solution for those of you looking for a GPS mount and who wants a bean bag on their dashboard. Seriously this is 2010...use something more discrete than a bean bag...I guess it would be cool if it were the 1970's when bean bag chairs were in LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great product, that Garmin and others should include in the box when you purchase a GPS. It is compact so that it does not stick out too far from the dash. The double-sided tape is a 3m product that is extremely strong. For the price you cannot go wrong with this product.
ReplyDeleteExactly as advertised. Much smaller base than most mounts, and easy to find a convenient place for it. Adhesive, so far, excellent. Very satisfied.

this mount is perfect for my needs. it eliminated the need to have with or store the bulky suction cup mount...which i never liked using anyway and i never had much luck with other style gps mounts either.
ReplyDeleteNo, it isn't that big a deal, but it does do exactly what it is supposed to do. Stays stuck and holds the GPS super steady. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteLike the fact it can be mounted on the dash and is not a dead giveaway you have a GPS. circle on the windshield from the suction kind is an obvious sign you have a gps in the car. sticks really well
ReplyDeleteThis product, is difficult to find, however once acquired you'll wish the Garmin Nuvi's shipped with them. The mount is the most versatile of all the mounts I've considered and actually use. In fact I recommend them to everybody who uses Garmin Nuvi GPSs. I use one in my car, truck, on both of my Harleys, and my Girlfriend's Jeep. The small size is ideal for use where the provided suction cup mount won't work, pretty much everywhere except the windshield... Get one of your own and you'll soon be recommending them to your friends.

I bought one of these little mounts two years ago because the suction mount was too bulky and the dash mount was in my line of sight. The first thing I liked about this mount is it is so small and needs little space to mount. I cleaned off an area on the dash below the 4-wheel drive controls of my H2 with denatured alcohol and let it dry. I am pleased to say the double sided tape that comes on this mount has held up under all conditions. The mount itself adjusts to various angles and has never slipped out of position. It works EXACTLY like a person would hope for. I like it so much I bought another on Amazon for a new pickup. Go ahead and buy this little mount with confidence. Just be sure to clean the area well before sticking the mount in place.
