Fix-it-Friday - Nextbase 522GW mount fix

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hi and welcome to Tanks on Tour.
A fix it Friday!
This is about our Nextbase 522GW dashcam mount, specifically the sucker mount that came with the camera. The sucker as you will see has split at the base so not easy to see, after a bit of searching and finding different 'fixes' as to why this won't stick, I found the sucker was the issue.

    Excellent! Thank you for pointing out why it no longer sucks and how to remove the suction cup from the GPS mount. I have just ordered a suction cup from Nextbase for £6.5. You saved me ££££ by not buying the whole mount. Thanks again

    Hi and thanks for the comment. I wonder how many other Nextbase customers feel the same way and just stop using the camera? For info, mine is still stuck fast to the windscreen since the new install. Cheers, Andy.

    May be useful for him if the camera is mounted with the sucker and it falls off often. Packing the van up eh? Have a safe trip and great time away. Andy and Kim.

    Thank you! Ours is always dropping off, which is doubly annoying because it sets off the car alarm! We put it down to the heat, but will have to check the mount for damage now - ours is the 522 as well, so may look into the replacement part or just the box of bits you have… ✅👍🏻🐸

    Hi and thanks for watching and the comment. Unsure where you are in the world, here in the UK you could use Nextbase directly via their website, or if I hadn’t said on here, you could try your local Halfords. Good luck in the repair or replacement. Andy.

    Hi and thanks for your experience and feedback. Since fitting it we’ve not had much sunny or hot weather to test the adhesive, so currently this is still stuck fast to the screen. I’ll see if I can remember to feedback any more issues if I have them later. Thanks again, Andy.

    I ‘think’ you can and for £4.99 from Nextbase direct. At the time of recording these were out of stock but now showing in stock - nextbase.co.uk/accessories-parts/parts/dash-cam-windscreen-mounts/series-2-suction-cup-attachment-no-powered-connection/ I hope this helps you out.

I checked on the link but it out of stock. Anyhow they should provide it in the set anyway not to take it away and charge more expensive.
