Need something sticky...

[EazyE16]

I bought a Garmin sat nav. It comes with a window suction mount or a dash mount. I want to use the dash mount. It is basically a plastic disc which has a "permanent adhesive" under it which sticks to the dash. I used it but it didnt stick at all and its rubbish. So i need an alternative. Ive tried these double sided stick pads which worked for a while until i got in my car one day to find the sat nav had fallen off with the dash mount. Luckily the screen didnt crack and it seems to be working ok.
I thought about super glue but that will ruin the dash when i want to take the mount off to sell the car.

Any ideas?

Sticky velcro pads would be the way forward I reckon, easy to remove if needs be and pretty sturdy

It has to have a good grip though, and where can i get them?

make sure you clean the surface before applying the adhesive to the dash, otherwise it will stick to any (unseen) muck and not the dash

:yeahthat: As for where to get them, i'd say pretty much any decent office supplies place would be your best port of call. If you can find it, you could always try some cowgum (you know that wierd stuff they use to stick things to the fronts of magazines) I bet that would do a great job

Yay. Wilko's rocks

 

[levemircento]

were the sticky pads very thin? the sticky pad for interior rear view mirrors are very thin and very good at sticking things on.

or try a couple of self tappers, when you come to sell the car just put a small "no smoking" sticker where the bracket was
