5.0 out of 5 stars seems fine, avoids problems found in other mounts, April 9, 2009

I just purchased this mount and have used it a few times. So far it has maintained a very good grip on my dashboard; it hasn't slipped an inch while I've been driving.
Unlike other friction mounts that require you to use your existing suction-cup mount in conjunction with their base, this item completely replaces your windshield mount, all you need is the bracket that clips onto the unit itself. Since it is a single piece, this unit should avoid having the problems that others have reported with similar mounts, mainly that their suction-cup mount doesn't always stay adhered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for Magellan RodeMate 5120, May 15, 2011

The product works very well and sticks in place nicely. I gave it 5 stars because it is well made and does not slide around.

For my Magellan RoadMate 5120 I had to remove the attachment that fits on the ball and use the one that came with my RoadMate 5120. I had to enlarge slightly the threaded collar that tightens the attachment as the ball on this one was larger than the one my RoadMate came with.

The lowered area below the ball was half an inch too narrow for my RoadMate but the mount was so nice I decided to keep it.

The product works extremely well and has a silicone that really holds onto the dash. You might have to modify things to make it work for your GPS but it is worth the effort.

My RoadMate came with a suction cup base that was useless for my vehicle, this one works very nicely.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not fit Magellan RoadMate 2136T-lm, January 24, 2012

The Tightening ring, ball and thread are different size ( bigger) than the one that came with the Magellan RoadMate 2136t-lm mount; and by the way the ball is no only bigger but it protruded to one side as a result of bad quality control at the plastic molding factory. I can use it because it will no fit at all, tried to insert the ball in the original cradle that came with the Magellan, but the ball is to big that is useless for me.
