Platform Mount with Disc Pad from Bel

[SpeedChaser]

Hello all! What I would like to ask is how the new mount from Beltronics work? I'm in a hurry to find a good way to install my Beltronics detector but don't know about the mounts. I am talking about Platform Mount with Disc Pad. Beltronics' site states that it has adhesive which holds it on the dash, and another adhesive to secure the radar detector.

Is it possible to remove the detector from the mount and the mount from the dash, or will I have to keep everything attached at all times?

Thank you in advance!

Your RD will stay attached to the mount, but you can take the mount off the dash. However I could not get the disk to stay on the dash. Wiped the dash down with alcohol to get impurities off and no go. The cup will stick to the windshield and the two sided tape will hold your RD, although it is up side down.

Thanks for your help Matt! I believe that the adhesive won't stick to any dash, but it's always possible to use some sort of own molding tape and try one more time. You should test it.

The cup will stick to the windshield and the two sided tape will hold your RD, although it is up side down.

That can be done with the ordinary suction cup mount too - I think I'll pass this time. Doesn't sound very temting that there will be something always attached to my RD...

Best regards, Alex

What about industrial strength velcro?

Velcro will have to be sticked to the dash aswell... So... But it's worth trying Matt.

Velcro should work. I'd use something to remove silicone from armarol type products like naptha(lighter fluid) wipe on and wipe off with a clean paper towel then attach. The sun will work on any adhesive backed product when the vehicle warms up from the sun. Using stips of velcro allow some air movement will most likely yeild better results.

Just make sure the glue on the other sides of the velcro is good, otherwise it will melt under the sun and you lose your mount.
