I have the same problem with my Garmin mounting bracket. It simply falls off in high internal car temperatures. Garmin replaced the bracket (FOC) a few months back but the new one has the same problem.

Post try using rubbing alcohol

Rubbing alcohol works great. You might have a slight oil or dirt on the suction cup, and using alcohol will remove all that.

Have the same problem as well as having the plastic break around the metal hinge area - Gramin have replaced that but is still not good with it falling for no real reason.

I have found that if I clean suction cup and window with Windex, it helps for a few weeks.

I think a add bonus would being able to mount your Garmin in your air vent as some other brands do

The mounting bracket for my Garmin Nuvi 310 won't stay stuck to the windscreen with the result that the whole unit falls to the floor, which is obviously very annoying indeed. I wipe both the windscreen and suction cap each time I mount the bracket to the windscreen. Does anyone have any tips that may help the unit stay fixed to the windscreen?
Cheers


I have actually had this issue before as well. VERY annoying.

Have you checked the suction cup to see if it has a pinhole in it?

I am not a big fan of windshield mounts, not because they fall off but because they obstruct your view and if inadvertently left there when you leave the vehicle, they are a super invitation to thieves. Not to mention you could be pulled over by the police if they see a suction cup on your windshield and mistake it for a radar detector while diving in a place detectors might be illegal.

I have found the neatest way to mount a Garmin is to use their suction cup mount on one of their smooth self-adhesive discs mounted in a convenient place on the dash. When in a hurry you can throw a cap or hat over the unit to hide it from possible thieves.


Yea, you make a great point. I have actually been pulled over by a state trooper for this. Luckily he didn't ticket me (he claimed that it is illegal to have ANYTHING attached to your windsheild because it "obstructs" your vision or some crap). So with that being said and done, I would like to try your dash mounting method Smile
