My suction cup GPS mount will not hold to the dash mounted base for very long lately. What I am looking for would be to glue the mount to the base, but be removable when desired. I thought about Velcro, but not sure if that is what I want. Yes, I have cleaned the mount and suction cup thoroughly.

Spit on the cup and rub it around. It will stay put a lot longer.

I have tried all the usual stuff like spit and polish. The dash mounted piece appears to have a slight warp to it. There is no really flat spot and I already have the base glued down. I am thinking that maybe a thermoplastic glue of some kind might work.

Go to a glass shop and have them cut you a circle that will fit the dash piece. Glue it in place. Spit and stick the GPS mount. Done and the GPS is not glued and easily removable.

Having grown tired of the suction cup failures I went with a Mirror Mount Works great and stays where I want it and the GPS is easily removable.

Try a little dab of cooking oil. Just a light sheen. Mine holds for days after that.

I don't know what GPS you have, but a replacement suction cup mount is cheap. Garmin for example.

That is very cool! And not expensive either. I like that it can be mounted above the mirror so as not to block your view, and still be legal in all 50 states.
