Heavyweight Beanbag Dash Windshield

This is a unique mounting kit. Use it on your dash or on the windshield.Excellent for those not wanting to stick anything on the dash. This mount combines the best of a suction based base and a non skid heavyweight dash. Weighing almost 3 pounds, this mount doesn’t use glue and isn’t going to move once you have it in place. The heavy dash base features a smooth surface so that the suction mount can adhere directly just like on the windshield.Wanna travel and not lug the heavy mount? No problem, the suction based mount can be removed to use on the windshield of your rental vehicle or just use on a second car.

Happy
By J. Murphy
This is what I’ve been waiting for. This mount places the unit at the perfect height and leaves no marks on the windshield or dashboard. It holds steady and does not slide. Works as advertised!! I wish I had bought this unit long ago. Easy to hide and set up and works perfectly. If you’ve got a radar detector do yourself a favor and buy this unit. It’s worth every penny!

Just right
By Father Goose
I purchased this unit when I discovered that it is illegal to have a radar detector hanging on your windshield in California. Not illegal to have the detector, mind you, just to have it mounted on your windshield.

I am totally satisfied with this unit. I am using it in a Toyota Tacoma, and it is stable under most driving conditions and does not slide around as I feared it might. It has the added advantage of not rattling, which my detector did when mounted with suction cups. I have tested it with some spirited driving on the mountain roads and have not had any problems, your mileage may vary depending on how you define spirited.

It is also a snap to move the unit if you want it out of sight, or to set on the floor if you are in a situation where you don’t want/need a radar detector. ( Off road, for example)

This unit is worth the price just to get suction cups out of your life. I highly recommend it.

Has its plusses and minuses
By EMG
I purchased this about a month ago for my Passport radar detector that i have in my Toyota Tacoma. So far i have mixed feelings

The Pros:

1) Does a surprisingly good job of not sliding side-to-side on the dashboard, even when i take a sharp corner relatively fast.

2) The suction cup that attaches the mounting attachment to the beanbag seems very high quality and so far has not released.

3) Dont have to deal with my detector falling off the windshield while driving or after sitting in the sun all day.

The Cons:

1) My Tacoma has a relatively shallow dashboard (and slightly slanted) and if i drive on too bumpy of a road the mount will eventually move towards the windshield and the radar detector will vibrate against it. I have found myself having to pull the mount back towards me several times a trip if the road is rough. Highway driving is no problem and if your dashboard is deep or level you probably wouldnt have this issue.

2) I chose to attach my detector to the mounting attachment using the provided velcro. I live in Arizona and have found that the desert sun melts the sticky side of the velcro during the day. I am going to try the other provided tape and if that doesnt work will probably have to wrap a rubberband or something else around the unit to keep it in place.

3) I’m worried that if i leave the beanbag on the dash all the time that you might see a circle as the dash fades from the sun. I try to either put up my window shade or set the unit on the floor if its going to be in the sun all day.

Like i said, overall if have mixed feelings. If i can come up with something to stop the beanbag from vibrating towards the windshield i think i will be happy with it. I’ll post and update if i come up with something
