I have a Jeep and I take it offroad. That means that I spend all day bouncing around under the hot sun while everything gets dusty and dirty. Once, I watched my "permanently mounted" Garmin mount attachment plastic turn from a solid to a semi-solid and my GPS unit slowly went from the dashboard to the floor. Yeah, it was hot outside.

I have a new Jeep now, and I wasn't sure where I wanted my GPS unit to be permanently mounted. A temporary solution was in order, but I didn't believe that anything would work very well, honestly. I wanted to stick the GPS unit to the windshield, but I didn't believe that anything would withstand all of the bouncing around and all of the changes in temperature.

Boy, was I wrong! I have stuck this RAM Mount onto my windshield a dozen times, taking it off again to clean the dusty, dirty windshield. Once it's on, it never moves. Ever. The way the suction cup works is genius. You stick it on with a regular suction cup, and then twist the lever at the base to pull the interior of the suction cup far from the glass, making it stick even more. I'm not sure it would be possible to tear it off without releasing the lever again.

In addition to all of that, you can twist the mount all over the place to get it in exactly the right position. That puts the GPS exactly where I want it instead of where some other company wants it. Perfect!

I contacted RAM Mount before purchasing this, to get some pre-sales advice. They were very helpful. I'm going to continue to purchase mounts and cradles from RAM Mount. I'm really impressed!

Just as advertised. I got it, stuck it in my window and it's been there rock solid ever since. Holds my GPS receiver steady and it was easy to angle it just right. Does all I need it to do and does it well.
