Windshield Mount

how to mount tomtom go on windshield without it falling?

I have tomtom go gps that came with a dashboard/windshield mount which keeps falling.Please help me on how to secure it on windshield without it falling off.

Honestly, I have a garmin with the little suction mount that is the same way and the stupid little thing falls off too it drives me NUTS! But no fear… I eventually found a solution.

Here is what I’ve found though…. I take and park my car in the shade, clean my window as best I can. I’ll then go ahead and get the little mount on the gps, spray the suction cup VERY LIGHTLY and stick it on. Hold it there best you can for several seconds and sort of twist it back and forth and then make sure it’s on straight. The window cleaner if you put it on light enough will create a seal around the suction cup and in the middle and create a nice tight seal and stay on, even when it’s hot outside. It should stay on from that point forward. You’ll want to take a towel and wipe around the suction cup a little bit so you don’t have cleaner dripping down the window or anything.

Motorcycle windshield must not only add impetus to a bicycle, they do much more. Among other things, they intercept discarded cigarette butts, insects and various other missiles road. Also the behavior of the all important task of redirecting airflow away from the rider's head and torso so that saves him from the fatigue wind over long distances.

No wonder then that windshields are the most requested accessories in the market.
The demand has also spawned a series of car windows, each claiming its own USP. However, before buying one should keep the following five points in mind:

1. The Fit: Try to get a windshield has done for the manufacturer of your own bike. It is more likely to fit your bike perfectly. You can also try the universal shield. This type is lightweight, mounted on the handlebars and can be installed in almost any bike. Universal windshield just provide a very basic protection between you and air.

2. The plastic: It is important that the plastic has good optical properties. The distortion at the edges or near the curvature of a shield can be especially dangerous.

3. The Size: Bigger windshields do not always mean better protection. A tall windshield works well to block the cold wind, but during the rains, which could become a wet wall that you can not look over. Short windshield are good because they let the fresh air fan your face in hot weather, but can wreak havoc in his helmet when the wind is strong. Much depends on the type of bike you have and how you feel about it. It is best to sit on a bike and then see how the windshield.

4. The Height: A windshield that sits just below your line of vision while seated comfortably is a good option. You should be able to see over it without effort and yet be comfortable dropping your head to look through the glass. In any case, the height at which you feel most comfortable is probably the correct height. Sit before several windshields and you know that works for you.

5. The mounting system: Check before mounting system to buy the windshield. Mounting hardware can vary radically from shield. While the placement of your windshield to make sure that the cables do not bind or block both the illumination or brake lines. Dar mirror controls and ample space. Make sure that nothing touches the windshield when the fork is fully compressed. Also make sure that the shield does not interfere with management. Take a short test ride, but take it easy.
