i purchased this holder and it doesn't stick to my pebble grain dashboard.Is there something I'm not doing? I removed the piece of film that was there

The suction cup sticks to windshield and the rest just sits on the dash to support the weight. It's non adhesive. Nothing actually "mounts" to the dashboard itself as that would probably damage the dashboard.

Mine doesn't stick on the dashboard either but it serves like an "armrest", I'm assuming. It balances the weight so the whole apparatus doesn't fall off from the windshield because it could get heavy with the arm being long too. Hope this helps.

the bottom back it doesn't stick just there for support adjust the bar and should be good

This will work with some slightly curved smooth dashboards. Make sure that the dash is completely clean (no lint or armor all) and the suction cup is clean as well. If it has dirt, run under water to remove dirt and let air dry. Do not wipe suction cup. Good luck.

I would suggest trying a craft store. I don't use the ones that come with the unit - big pain in the butt. I just bought the new suction cup mount listed on Amazon but haven't received it yet!

It's been in my windshield for a couple months and I haven't had to reposition it once. It doesn't stick to my dashboard nearly as well as either of my Exogear Exomount car mounts though. If you're looking for a dashboard mount, get an Exogear Exomount!

I have a pebble Tec finish and it works well. It hasn't damaged the surface either, so I would say yes

I am sorry, I never had any issue with mine.. Did you make use of the black disc they had provided to stick to the dashboard, because that is very strong and provides greater suction.

it may have too much dust on it to stick. clean the pad with a little soap and water and try it again

Thanks so much for your advice! I drove myself nuts for several days trying to figure out how to attach the nuvi to the mount and your method plus a consumer-posted photo of the friction mount on Amazon finally did the trick. Garmin should be ashamed of itself for not providing directions.

My Trailblazer has a slightly curved dashboard top also along groves all over the surface. To my surprise, it stuck to the surface and still has not come off even with this hot weather. As I previously mentioned, just make sure you wipe the surface down (I used Windex) and let it dry before you mount.

There is a double stick tape on the back of the holder. My original installation lasted about 4 years before it became loose. When I installed my new one, I also put one screw in the provided hole to make the attachment permanent.

You can stick the "black round thing" anywhere on the dash board. Then you can attach your garmin mount like attaching to windshield. Make sure you decide where you want it on the dash board (once you stick it, it is kind of stuck there for ever). Remove the thin film on the white tape (hard to remove). Once removed, it's very sticking. Before sticking it on the dash board plan ahead. Good luck!

Just read you inquiry again. The sticky pad doesn't stick to the surface of you dashboard, which is great. I use on the take back and forth between 3 cars. We only have on GPS and only use is occasionally. I really like it and have had it for over 3 years.

Sorry I have no idea. I always have mine mounted on the dash. I have no problem with it coming off from there, but then I have it mounted on the plastic disk that came with my old Garmin. That disk is premanently glue to dash and then my new ones snaps on on off with the usual suction cup

I would suggest a couple of things to try. First, when you mount the device to the vent blade push it firmly on the vent before you tighten it. Then try to gently pull the holder off of the vent. You may have to repeat the process in a differnent location in the vent area to get it to hold. Second, I had to learn to roll the phone off the magnet rather then pull the phone straight out of the holder. I have enjoyed my holder and it has worked well for all of our family phones in our town and country.

I was not able to mount anything as it didn't stick. I threw it out. I finally bought this instead. : Garmin StreetPilot C Series Large Dashboard Disk 2 Pack and it worked great.

It works great on my windshield but would not attach to my dashboard which is a slightly pebbled surface as well. Attaches great to any smooth surface and works great as easily can put phone in with one hand and take out with one hand. But attaching to any slightly porous surface may be problematic. Good luck!
