I have a curved and textured dash, and most other suction cup products won't work? How about the Dash Crab Duet?

My Tom Tom charges from the bottom and I am able to use this dashboard mount with no problem. My Tom Tom has a snap on type adjustable suction cup mount and the charging cord connects below this mount. My only problem is with the Tom Tom Sunction cup! The suction cup bracket would never stick to the windshield or to the plastic mounting disc. I have always used self stick Velcro to mount it to my vehicle even when it was brand new. I currently have a Ford Edge and I purchased this portable dashboard mount because I couldn't find a suitable place for the Velcro. This universal mount works fine for me plus I can remove it easily and tuck it in the seat pocket when not in use.

Ours locks to the window so either your suction cup is defective which could be checked by trying to lock it on a flat window or your windshield is curved or has some kind of coating on it like an antifoging agent.

I am also looking for a mounting device, but I don't want any yhting that is permanent or that will leave sticky stuff on my dash. Have you come up with any ideas

I don't know what that guy is talking about when he says you have to remove a section of the dash and drill holes. It's a sticky pad for the base and the adapter slides into it. From what I can see your model is a flat screen and like the first person said, if your mount assembly has the ball style attachment then it will absolutely work. I mounted mine right to my dash with the sticky pad and I love it. It's way better than the friction mounts.

Not sure? I just put the gps bracket more to one end and then push it back and works fine. I have regular dash

My thoughts exactly. I am in the same predicament. The suction cups are specific to the product. I would suggest contacting the vendor Starlight and Sunny because they seem more than happy to help customers. That is what I plan to do.

My dash is leather with a slight texture as well. For my dash the suction cup worked well, staying put until I removed it.

Get the 'bean bag' dash mount that Amazon sells - worth every penny! http://tinyurl.com/nzzcrvx

Yes by suction cup, but this is not the normal suction cup found on other holders. This suction part has a rubber adhesive ring on it to hold it in place on any surface. It's not a permanent ring so you can move it, but once in place it wont fall off. Pull the lever down to suck the air out for a complete seal. Other suction cups only works on window or they give you a plastic circle to put on your dash. The Dash Crab does not come with a plastic circle.

I drive a 94 Nissan Pickup with a curved dash and have no problems with my mount. It comes with a little stick on piece that you can attach the mount by the little tab at the back. I have not done this and have had no problems. The mount is heavy enough to stay put. My dash is "textured" if that would mean anything.

I have and am quite pleased. If it were 1/4" wider for my GPS it would be perfect. Nevertheless, it does much better than the suction cup devise used previously.

It comes with a sticky tape circular mount that might stick to the dash and the holder will suction to that. If you've got a good flat area on the dash it may work good.

I thought I'd read that CA amended that rule in 2009 and drivers could use mounts as long as they were clearly on the left half of the windshield? Might want to look into that.Regardless, the best friction mount I've tried (and I've tried 4 now) is the Gilsson found here:Gilsson UBM Portable Car Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Dashboard Mount for Garmin, TomTom, Magellan and moreIt's a bit ugly, but it's very flexible and heavy where most of the others are inflexible and too light to really do the job.

It works for me. I have enough of a curve so that a small portion of the front of the holder does not even make contact with the dash and it's still very tight. It's pretty amazing.

It should work fine with your portable GPS. Be sure your windshield is super clean if your going to mount it there, I didn't use the mounting pad (sticky round disk) so I don't know how it works with the suction cup. I put mine directly on the windshield and its never fell off.
