 You'll need a crow bar to take it off your windshield April 13, 2007

I live in Miami so its obviously very hot down here, i have the round plate which you're supposed to mount the suction cup to instead of the windshield but i was driving another car that day and switched it without it... 3 days later i thought it had grown roots to the windshield, i had to get a knife to pry it off, i still have some rubber stuck to the windshield and ofcourse the mount no longer sticks to anything. so now i have to buy a brand new one. It's funny how garmin knows this happens and no matter where you buy the replacement mount it automatically comes with the charging cable (which is what costs the most from both pieces) ironic huh? yeah right...
Great product! June 9, 2008

Purchased to replace an original Garmin mount that was stolen. This unit works exactly like it is supposed to. It sticks to the windshield very strongly, adjusts sufficiently to allow a good view, and is just an all around good product. No complaints whatsoever. Also, I live in Yuma, and even though it gets VERY hot here I haven't experienced the "suction cup welding itself to the windshield" that others have run into. Then again, I moisten the suction cup before sticking it, and I do not use this unit for driving around town, only when I travel, so it only stays stuck to the windshield for a day or two at a time. For theft deterrent reasons, you should be taking it down anyway, to make your vehicle less of a target. You would THINK that thieves would not steal just an empty mount, but in my case I found out the hard way that they WILL steal ANYTHING that is not bolted down, valuable or not. Even if it is just the mount with no GPS, it may make thieves think the GPS is hidden somewhere in the car. Take your GPS with you when you leave, and take the "steal me" mount out of the window.
