I am not sure of the lifespan of items like these especially in our brutal Florida heat, but i guess i am surprised it lasted as long as it did, very sturdy construction and nice angling choices, and the extra glue that came with it, really held for 2 years and one month till it finally fell off. tho the suction cup is nice and thick it appears that the heat eventually made ittoo loose and separated. i did try to fix it but no luck, this item is a great value for the cost, and i am happy with it's performance and would recommend this product I just to document what happened, maybe the next one will last 3 years,lol
So far I've had 0 problems with this product. I've adhered it to the windshield, the dashboard (using the mount it comes with), and the air vent. It's on a Ford F-150, and the vent rotates 360 degrees and is shaped in a circle. I used the vent first just to see because typically I don't like the phone mounted there anyways with other mounts I've had since they don't always hold the phone well, especially when hitting bumps. But the vent clip held up well in all situations while driving. I did this for 3 days since instructions recommended waiting 3 days after adhering the pad to the dash to putting the mount onto it. (I assume the weight of the phone may take it off if not given the proper amount of time to settle into wherever you place it).-Anyhow, the vent clip worked perfectly. Even with my 360 air vent. It's long enough and strong enough when you tighten it as necessary.-The windshield, no problem at all.-The dash mount was my real goal. After waiting the 3 days as recommended in the product instructions, I fixed the mount and the phone to it. Bumpy roads, potholes, all non-issue. The suction is good. (I'd say incredible, but that's a strong word for such an item). I have it mounted extended to 95% of it's maximum distance putting it almost parallel to the distance my steering wheel reaches. Works great.Very happy with the product and would certainly recommend it to anyone else who was interested in having a phone mount in their car. Long drives, short drives, it makes using the phone while driving much safer and very convenient when using the GPS which I use often in my line of work.Very pleased. Will be getting another for my wife's car now that I know it's a reliable product.
My 8 yrs. old daughter put this together and we installed it with no problem at all.The only hicup was when we first postsed it on my dash board, it was warm outside and it fell off, butI think I didn't press it down and hold it in place as firmly as I should have.When I re-posted it, it stayed and I haven't had any problem since.I really like the various mobility and it feels much safer for me visually when I'm driving.
