I bought this mount as a replacement for my original Garmin mount, which lasted about 3 years. Big mistake. This one lasted about 3 weeks! I don't normally remove the mount once I have it in place, and I do not even keep the GPS sitting in the bracket when not using it.Even so, the mount stayed firmly attached to the windshield--- until I used the GPS for a long trip-- The mount fell off about 2 hours into the trip. Upon closer inspection, it was obvious that the suction cup had torn/separated from the plastic mount inside the bracket base! All this was done without pulling or applying any pressure whatsoever to the mount-- Very simply, the weight of the GPS itself (a small Nuvi 200 series) was enough to cause the suction cup to separate!What a joke. save your 2 bucks+shipping and buy a genuine Garmin mount. This imitation is a lousy piece of cheap cr@p.
