How can I keep my GPS windshield mount from losing suction so quickly?
GPS
andrewwinters74 asked:
The one that came with the gps device started falling off after a few months so I bought a replacement mount for about $30. After another few months, same problem. It just seems to lose its suction power and will fall off after a short time of driving. Any ideas to avoid this problem? The beanbag solution will not work with my gps (which is a Garmin, by the way). Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

You need to make sure your windshield and the suction cup are very clean. Anything that gets between the windshield and the suction cup can cause a slow loss of suction and let the gps fall. If a through cleaning doesn’t help, you may have a bad suction cup. See if you can get a replacement in that case.
