Gilsson UBM Portable Car Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Dashboard Mount
True it doesn’t seem to slip around but it is cumbersome and in a smaller car can end up covering your air vents. I also don’t get how the GPS is supposed to sit on it? Are you supposed to mount the GPS to the suction cup mount and then suction it to the plate? I think this may be the new “pet rock”, something you really don’t need. A better description of how to use and showing a picture with a GPS unit on it would be helpful in deciding whether or not to purchase. Right now it’s hanging out in my back seat!

the tomtom suction cup keep coming off and the unit falls off the dash… the only difference is that the tomtom used to fall off the windshield and now it falls off the dash-mount. Skip this product and just build your own dash-mount!

It’s OK, doesn’t slide around but would be better if it had placement areas/holders that hold specific sized things.

At first, I was very pleased with this product. Then the major design flaw came out: it loses it’s “stickiness” after a few weeks in the car. Thinking I got a defective product, I returned it and got a new one. Same story a few weeks later. I understand that all materials break down over time, that’s how physics works, but this is unacceptable. Am I not supposed to keep a product designed for use in the car, in my hot car? I don’t even live in a hot area and I keep my car garaged. This item is junk now. It’s a slippery bean bag that slides all over my dash. Thankfully I did not have my GPS attached, because I noticed it slid all over, just trying to put it on the dash. Great concept, horrid execution. Keep in mind, if you are buying.

I bought this beanbag mount for my new Magellan Roadmate 5045 and immediately left on a 4200 mile roadtrip to Colorado. It never moved on the dashboard of my ’99 Toyota Sienna as we climbed, descended, and swerved down the mountain roads. Some reviewers complain about having trouble getting the GPS windshield mount suction cups to stick to the plate on the beanbag mount. They should try dropping some water in the middle of the plate before pressing the suction cup onto the plate. The water improves the seal on the suction cup so it holds like it is glued down. The water will evaporate eventually so it is important to pop the suction cup off every once in a while so you can restick it with some more water.
