Dash cam mount

[Vw80]

My dash cam is unstickin from windscreen every second day. Is two side tape ok for attaching or is there something better? Thanks.

Make sure the mounting surfaces are clinically clean then use a 3M pad, like this one for example -

3m pad as Madstaff had said. Thinkware Dashcams come with 3m pads and I've never had one drop off the screen yet no matter what temperature.

Not sure the model that you have but I have a Nextbase and it supplies with a 3M mount and it has been reliable. However, the extreme heat we've had has been too much for it and it denatured and kept coming away from the screen. Was a straight forward job to replace the pad with a spare mount.

As others have said, make sure you clean the glass properly before application. A bodyshop solvent will do well to ensure the surface is clean and free of grease. Something like 3M 08984 works well.

Thanks guys 👍🏻

Anything thing worth noting, most often send spare adhesive pads for this exact reason. So check the box if you still have it

That's a really good point. You've prompted me to go rifle through the box in the garage. 

Think i'm so conditioned to just about everything being 'extra' these days, I hadn't thought to check.

But a big shout out to the guys in Halfords who gave me one for free. I walked in and said I was going to make their day with my annoying ask and they laughed, got one out of a box and gave it to me in goodwill. I was happy to pay for it but they insisted - they deserve a bit of recognition for being decent.
