    Car Dashcam mount keeps falling

    My Nextbase 512g dash cam is internally wired. It has a suction mount that keeps falling and some times it doesn't stick at all, however clean my windscreen is. Any one got a better idea?

    I was looking at Adhesive tapes, but not sure if it would fix the problem. Any one used/using it?

    Have you given both the sucker and the windscreen a going over with an alcohol spray to be completely sure there's no grease? You need to clean both surfaces, not just the windscreen.

      Yes, I clean both windscreen and the suction mount every time it falls down. But still ...

        I use one of those flat pads that stick permanently to the top of the dashboard for my satnav. Standing up on a surface is a lot more secure than hanging off one.
        Blog? What blog...?

            Why can't your butler just hold it in place for you?

              Can you try a new suction pad? Maybe the edge is not good?

                Get rid of the suction cup and use the 3m adhesive pad that came with it instead.

                    A sucker is not a particularly effective way to fix something. A 3M adhesive sticker would be better.
                    I'm alright Jack
