Sat nav falling off the windscreen

Why is it that no matter which lorry I drive, no sat nav wants to stick to the windscreen properly. It’s extremely annoying if you’re trying to follow the ■■■■ thing and it falls off the [zb] windscreen. Never seems to be a problem if I use it in a car… Any ideas?

I bought a new holder for my sat nav the other day and it came with a big pack of alcohol wipes.
I’ve always had the problem of them not sticking to the windscreen but I have tried wiping the glass with one of these wipes first and it does seem to make quite a difference to the security of it.

Might be worth giving it a go, just cleaning the area of screen reallly thoroughly before you stick it on?

mines has never fell off the window, and ive got the big snooper s7000 which is like a 7" screen so its rather large

A little bit of spit is all I use n I really have that problem

5

Don’t use sat nav much anymore same runs all the time, no need for it. But when i did - i used velcro, it kept those disgusting marks off the screen. But thats only if you have the same truck all the time.

6

That’s the thing with me being agency, different truck all the time! Where can I get some alcohol wipes then?

All you need is a pack of baby wipes, one product, many uses :wink:

Lick the back of the sucker pad. It makes it stick and is less embarressing than licking the window

Doesnt work…(apparently) :wink:
Trouble is, man glue doesnt set fast enough!

Soak the suction cup in hot water from time to time, it returns the cup to its original shape.

17

Drill a small hole through the holder and the windscreen…and use a small screw to attach it… :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

well, you did ask for it.

18

lol :grimacing: Looks like I need to get myself some baby wipes then. Have tried the old spitting on it thing, doesn’t seem to work… :neutral_face:
