Does anyone know if it will mount flat on top of the dash? Could the bracket be flattened out in a vise and the screwed into a flat spot on the dash?

I think the front half of the bottom could be flattened easily enough, but where it meets the upright would be difficult to do neatly since the curve is formed into that too. Maybe if you're decent with a BFH, you could pound the whole bracket flat, then bend a new angle into it. Plan on a rattle can of black paint any way you mod it.

Yes, it does come with the standard type flat bracket that can either be mounted over or under the unit. The bracket has 90 degree bends with a single screw hole one both sides so the unit can pivot a little up or down. I don't know what kind of rig you want to mount this CB in but I mounted mine to an overhead roll bar I built for my 2005 Jeep Wrangler. Wranglers don't have a lot of dash area to mount a CB of this size.

The edges fold around and around again to make a rigid box shape (a U shape on each vertical edge). If it were flat, it would be flimsy and you couldn't put hooks thru it. However this edges are about 3/4" wide and if you use good quality double sided mounting tape, it should hold just fine. Better still, just put a couple of screws in it. It is no big deal to do and that way you can be sure it won't fall down.

No because of the way the bracket is. Unless you screw it to the top of the truck

I have a Toyota Sienna with a curved dash. I mounted about six month ago or more when I bought it and it never fell off. Just clean and dry the area where you plan to mount it. Is a great product.

I have mine mounted in a 2006 DodgeRAM 1500 Mega Cab. Bracket is mounted directly below the Temp/Fan control panel and above the Cup Holders compartments.Fits well and doesn't interfere with any of the controls or cup holders.

It should! The little clamp opens and closes to however wide you need it to be. But if your dash comes out further then your vents do its a little harder to mount it just right

No. Only with two brackets. Might be too heavy for suction cups. Works great though. I have it mounted to a 24x1.5 inch piece of aluminum stock with Scotch permanent double sided tape to the dash.

If I understand your question correctly, I'd say yes. My guess is the brackets can be mounted at any angle, as the shade will still fall straight down. By the way, I'm very happy with the shade...quality and performance is much better than the cheaper ones I've had from the 'box stores'.

You will need to drill holes in the bumper (if you have a metal bumper) or somewhere on the frame of the vehicle to mount the brackets. You may need to make, or have made, additional brackets for this to work. It depends on your vehicle.

I wouldn't trust it for round railings. The brackets seem designed specifically for flat railings.

It uses 3M VHB tape, so I don't see why it wouldn't. Clean your dash with a alcohol based cleaner first. Use a hair dryer to heat it up slightly and let it stick for roughly 1 day before using it so the glue has some time to adhere. It's called "Flat surface mount", but it is mounted to my bike helmet just fine, and that has a bit of a curvature to it.

you probably could but it is not recommended. it would partially block you front view and also it is very doubtfull that the mounting bracket would hold the weight. it will be easier to see mounted lower in front of the dash.

It is a single-DIN system; so I'm going with 'yes'. All you should need is the appropriate dash kit to mount it properly. If you're replacing a single-DIN system, you may be able to simply swap them out (Not that I'm an expert. I suggest spending some time on YouTube for tutorials). If you're replacing a double-DIN system, like I did, you'll need a kit that accommodates this. I now have a handy in-dash cubby hole thanks to mine.

I tried dash mounting, and it held great with a dash mounting plate that I glued to the dash. I went back to the windshield since there was MUCH LESS vibration effect being mounted to the windshield.

The rear cup is removable for installation in thin dash panels. If the panel is over 1/4" thick, a bracket would need fabricated to facilitate proper installation

Comes with a mount but not for under the dash, if your tech savy you can get a cheep peice of metal and make a bracket. The mount is durable though so you might be Able to fit it some how.
