i.Trek Sticky Mount for Garmin Nuvi (Black)

Holds tight to where it’s been stuck. The ball holds its position properly and hasn’t started shifting.
I bought this for a couple of reasons. First of all, I\'ve yet to have a suction cup mount that lasts. Eventually, they all get to the point where they fall off - and usually while I\'m driving. Second, living where I do, crime is (unfortunately) always an issue. Every once in while, we\'ll hear about people targeting cars with the rings that are left on windshields by suction cup mounts. See the ring, figure the GPS or other device is somewhere in the car and smash a window to find out. It took me a bit of Google searching to find the solution to both problems and that\'s what landed me here on Amazon to buy this.I worried about the adhesive issue that a lot of the reviews here have mentioned but, figured the relatively cheap price was worth the risk. Maybe it\'s because I have a flat brushed aluminum area above my self-installed radio, but I\'ve yet to see any sign of this mount losing it\'s grip. I\'ve had it for about a month and, even with the past week being ungodly hot (100°F+), it still holds, even when I pull the mounting clip off the ball. Should there be any issues with regard to it holding up, I\'ll be sure to adjust this review. As it is, I highly recommend it.*****************Update:After about a month, I\'m seeing the ball lose it\'s friction. I have a 5-inch Garmin 52LM on this and it\'s getting to the point where a moderate jolt from bumps in the road or even a tap on the screen moves the entire unit. That\'s especially bad since the 52LM uses an adapter that stays on the mount, so it\'s not a matter of constantly taking the unit on and off the ball. Taking a closer look at the plastic, it\'s doesn\'t seem as dense as the original mounts. I\'m actually considering cannibalizing an original mount to somehow attach an original ball to this one. I still love the dashboard location - just wish I didn\'t have to play MacGyver to make it work as it should.
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!
