Need to put it during hot day. If you put it during cool day, the air inside the suction cup will expand and lose pressure after sitting under the sun for awhile. Also, use water to help get a tight seal.

DIY find a good location in your dashboard area to put your phone la.
Mine can put in/take out easily with some DIY plastic tab. The phone won't move around unless emergency brake |

QUOTE(westernkl @ Jun 15 2017, 11:15 PM) Water improve the vacuum sealing of the suction cup, closing any small-tiny airgap, which improves the suction cup efficiency.

I stick it to the dashboard using velcro instead of double sided tape.
Suction cup on windscreen is not permanent solution, guarantee to drop after a while. ![]() |

Clean the rubber suction cup, ejaculate into it and stick
The semen will form excellent seal against the rubber and glass , and then when it dries become excellent bonding This post has been edited by rcracer: Jun 16 2017, 11:01 AM |

If too wet, the suction cup can move around on mirror. Most Phone mount come with a round dish and double sided tape, stick it to the dash board for permanent peace of mind. Also instead of letting the phone dangling, I added a rubber pad at the dashboard so the phone rest directly on it while being held by the phone mount, fail safe, never drop after 2 years of use. |
