Garmin Dashboard Disk 2-Pack
I use a Garmin GPS unit in my car. The Garmin dashboard disk was the perfect solution to mounting the unit to where I can see it easily while driving. I was pleased to see how easy it was to install and how well it holds the GPS mount in place. I have not yet tried to peel off the disk to see if it did any significant damage to the dashboard covering. I keep cars a long time so that isn’t really a problem for me. I do suggest that you find a nice magnetic knicknack to set on the disk when you leave the car parked. Even though you probably take the GPS with you, the knicknack dould possible disguise the fact that you use a GPS and reduce the possibility of someone breaking into the car.

I purchased two last year, but just bought a new car and needed another. Easy to apply and hold forever! Thank yor Amazon for offering them at such an affordable price!

I needed Garmin dashboard disks because mine had become “unstuck” and the adhesive no longer worked. I didn’t want to replace the entire mount. I couldn’t find these at Garmin or elsewhere. Everyone else wanted to sell the ENTIRE MOUNT which I didn’t need and didn’t want to pay the extra for. So it was great to find them with this seller. The price was right and I THINK they would have worked fine.
The problem was that the adhesive used on the disks didn’t seem to be strong or “sticky” enough to hold the mount in place. So it keeps falling off. So I had to go buy a “bean bag” to sit on my dash.
Nevertheless, to be fair, I still rated this product a 4 simply because I am not sure whether it failed to stick because the disk adhesive may have been of poor quality or because my dashboard may have had some kind of film from something the guys at the car wash used on my dashboard.
So overall the product SEEMED TO BE what I needed. Now however, I may need to order more disks because the adhesive on the other two no longer sticks on my dashboard. So basically, I wasted money and defeated my whole purpose of buying the disks, because I ended up having to go out and purchase the dashboard bean bag mount. (But again, at this point, since I am not sure of the cause of the failure, I won’t blame this on the seller’s product.)

I purchased one of these disc packs for my Garmin a year ago. I’d read some reviews about them coming un-stuck from the dashboard so I wiped my dash with rubbing alcohol prior to sticking it on. It has been on for a year so far & there is no sign of it letting loose from the dash. The gps mount holds on to it quite well & I’m pleased with the product.
I think that the reason some of them are coming off is that the dash wasn’t cleaned with rubbing alcohol before they were stuck down.
