My dashcam uses 3M stickers, not suction cups. It still falls off in the summer heat. The magnet idea is a good one, but the weak point is the 3M stickers.
I tried sticking my suction cup in boiling water for about 15 seconds to soften it up. Will give that a try first. Then maybe this method from Bob. I have tried velco but the camera wiggles back and forth. Thanks for the information.
Got the Van True N4 and same deal keeps on falling off, I can't imagine how it could stay on during a major collision. Thanks Bob for your advice I will try it... God Bless you for coming up with such a solution.
EXACTLY what I was looking for! I already have those super strong disc magnets and needed an idea to keep my dash cam suction cup stuck to my truck windshield. Thanks for making this video!
Have tried this - sounded a good idea, but the magnets were too heavy, and in hot weather, the glue on the sticker softened, and the dashcam fell off. I have now found the answer, when the plastic suction disc becomes stiff, causing it to part company with the windscreen, is simply to pop it in a cup of hot water. 5 minutes later, retrieveit, dry it off, and reattach to the windscreen. The plastic has been miraculously re-invigorated, and the suction pad stick like glue again!
Thanks Bob - magnets bought! I have a rear view dashcam on the back window as well - do you think it would interfere with the heating element and there is no part of the rear screen that is free of a heating element at 30mm. Once again thanks. Kris
Hi! What a great idea! However, the link you provided below only goes to Amazon, it does not take us to the actual magnet. Maybe you could just give us the name of the product? Thanks!
