Stop Your Sat Nav From Falling Off
There's nothing more annoying than your sat nav mount losing suction halfway to your destination. One bump in the road and it's dangling by the cable or lying on your passenger seat.
💡 Pro tip: The secret to a secure suction mount is proper surface preparation - one wipe with glass cleaner isn't enough.
Why Professional Fitting Matters
Getting the position right matters more than you'd think.
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong |
|---|---|
| Doesn't obstruct driver's view | Blocks part of windscreen vision |
| Positioned for easy glances | Have to look down or away |
| Secure mounting surface prep | Falls off after a week |
| Cable routed neatly | Wire dangling everywhere |

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to fit your own sat nav mount? Here's how to get good results:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol
- Lint-free cloth
- Your sat nav mount
- Cable clips (optional but tidy)
📐 Positioning tips
- Sit in the driver's seat and work out where you want it
- Must be in your eyeline without turning your head
- Shouldn't block any part of the windscreen you need to see
- Bottom left or right of windscreen usually works best
- Check it won't interfere with wipers
✨ Surface preparation (critical!)
- Clean with glass cleaner first, dry completely
- Wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth
- Let it dry for 30 seconds
- Don't touch the cleaned area with your fingers
- Suction mounts need perfectly clean, dry glass
- Adhesive mounts need the surface to be warm (20°C+)
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not cleaning the surface properly - causes 90% of failures
- Touching the cleaned area with fingers before mounting
- Fitting adhesive mounts in cold weather
- Positioning without sitting in the driver's seat first
- Not pressing suction mounts firmly enough
💡 Pro trick: For suction mounts, press firmly in the centre, then work outward to expel all the air. For adhesive mounts, warm the surface slightly with a hairdryer first - the adhesive bonds much better.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🚗 Multiple vehicles? If you've got a few company vans or cars that need mounts fitting, I can do them together and you'll save on multiple callouts.
Adhesive vs suction? Suction mounts are removable but can fail over time. Adhesive mounts are permanent but rock-solid. I can advise which suits your situation.
Cable routing matters - I'll tuck the power cable neatly so it's not dangling across your dashboard. Makes the whole installation look much cleaner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need help fitting a sat nav mount?
Most are DIY-friendly, but if you've had one that keeps falling off, or you want it positioned perfectly on the dashboard without trial and error, I can get it sorted in one go. Plus some adhesive mounts need getting right first time.
Can you fit it to my dashboard rather than windscreen?
Yes - some people prefer dashboard mounting as it's less obtrusive. I can advise on the best spot that doesn't block vents or interfere with controls, and get it mounted securely.
Do I need to buy the mount first?
Yes - bring the mount you want fitted. If you're not sure which type to get, I can advise. Suction mounts are easy to remove, adhesive mounts are more permanent but very secure.
Will it damage my windscreen or dashboard?
Suction mounts leave no marks. Adhesive mounts stick firmly but can usually be removed with heat and careful prying - though they may leave slight residue that cleans off with adhesive remover.
How long does it actually take?
About 10 minutes. Clean the surface properly, position it right, mount it securely. Quick job, but it's the £60 minimum charge because it's a callout.
