Still no luck. I had 2 more ideas since I again tried the visor mount and it was way to obvious to see from the front or rear of the vehicle (obvious silhoette in view).
Last two ideas were Velcro and spray adhesive. I planned to put a small amount of 4M adhesive on the cups, let them tack up, and then press them onto the windshield. I tried Velcro first though and attached it to the screen protector to avoid getting the Velcro shmeg on the glass. So far the Velcro has worked, although its not as firm a hold as the suction cups. Unfortunately there's only a thin strip on the V1 mount to adhere the Velcro once you remove the cups. I'll stick with (no pun intended) the Velcro for now, and if I'm not satisfied I'll try the adhesive spray. I use it at work and have no doubt it'll hold even crappy suction cup firm regardless of temp change.
