5 Stars Lightning Fast Shipment
Quick Shipment, they do not use DHL like Amazon, thank the stars. Very nice design on this bracket. works much better than the factory item included with the GPS Nav unit. Highly recomend.
2 Stars Good Concept, But Needs Work
This is a great idea (in theory), but it’s cheaply made and the plastic isn’t strong enough to do the job. It doesn’t work on all vents, and it breaks too easily. I stopped using it and bought one of the weighted dashboard pads for my GPS instead – a big improvement.
1 Star Does not work well on some cars…
The service of the seller was great! Very fast shipping! But unfortunately this item does not work properly on my 2001 Volvo S40. The clips are not strong enough to grip the vent louvers, therefore, the weight of the GPS unit pulls the mount forward and it eventually falls off, especially while driving.
4 Stars A difficult fit for certain vents
I have a 2007 Honda Fit. This mount would not fit either of the center vents without modification of the mount (yay, Dremel).
The clips require that there be a certain vertical distance between the vent louvers (the ones that go up and down, to which you are clipping the mount). Otherwise, you will wind up bending the louvers and putting the plastic under strain. I had to cut the release mechanisms off each clip so that they would fit through the tiny space between my car’s vent louvers.
The center distance between the clips is not far enough apart for my car. My vent has an enormous rectangular direction adjuster (the knob that angles the vent right/left) dead center on the vent. The clips on this mount were not widely spaced enough to go around it. So I have one clip to the left of the direction adjuster and one clip sitting awkwardly on top of it. This made the mount not quite level.
I had to put the mount on and take it off several times, cutting and filing away bits of the clips, so that it would fit. This left me with some scratch damage on my vent. They say “no tools”, but that’s for the installation. I found it hard to remove the clips without having three hands and two tools. The damage is concealed by the mount for now.
There are NO instructions. At least none came with the one I ordered. That said, this product is still way better than the suction cup mount that came with my GPS.
5 Stars Works great!
This little vent mount has been working great for me. Now, make sure you have a car with horizontal air vent slats. Otherwise, I’m not so sure it can be adjusted for you.
But this keeps my Maestro 4250 at eye level and supports it quite well. I’ve been very happy with it.
