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.
Great info our son got the nextbase in his car will show him. We need to get one. Just packing caravan up. X😊

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.
Very informative, thanks for sharing

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.
Thanks Andy. Great info. We have that model. Gonna buy one as a spare coz that split is bound to happen at some point. 👍👍

Cool 👍the standard mount that is the sucker part is available on the nextbase web site at £5 but, not currently in stock. Thanks for watching both, hope you are well. Andy and Kim.
I’ve found the adhesive fixing poor I need the suction fixing maybe for 522. Why should I have to buy the suction fixing separately.

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. Thanks for watching and the question, Andy.
How come you get the suction cup with it as well but I don’t! Im in the UK and just got it delivered yesterday 🙄 I was a bit annoyed as I’d prefer it to the permanent sticker one!

Unsure why you didn’t, maybe it’s a Halfords thing? Did you purchase from Nextbase directly? I had two links to use for online purchase, 1 was the sticky mount and one was the sucker mount. Let us know who you purchased from?

@@tanksontour directly from Nextbase and I paid more expensive than Halfords bundle for it too 🙄 as I want bigger SD card than the one that Halfords provided. 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.

Hi, are you telling me that your dash cam constantly falls off your windscreen? Does this little video help you find the right bits to stop this happening? Thanks.
