TomTom mount
I've got a TomTom OneXL that is about 6 years old. It's starting to have a problem with staying on the windscreen. I do the usual lick the back of the thing and press it on, and it falls off again. Or does both the windscreen and the sucption cup need a good scrub?
Any suggestions to rejuvenate the suction cup, or replace it with another mount. The catch is I have to transfer it between the work car for weekdays and my car or weekends.

Re: TomTom mount
Both the cup and the windscreen need to be REALLY clean.

Re: TomTom mount
Interesting, I wonder how well it would stick on a curved dash (and a curved TomTom back).

Re: TomTom mount
Yep Richy I got a RAM Mount from JAS in Strathfield there, wasnt too much. However, having just said that and while it almost never falls off, it got a crack yesterday and need to be repaired... DOH! Still they are pretty solid and much better than the mount the OneXL came with!

Re: TomTom mount
My Tom Tom One XL bracket kept falling off from the word go. After a while I got sick of catching it while driving / navigating so I replaced it with a RAM Aluminium mount and RAM One XL Bracket. No problems after that and you can buy the parts to keep the bracket going.
You never know Richary, seeing as I am looking at a new ICN right now I may have a RAM One XL holder up for sale!

Re: TomTom Licking
I've also got a Tom Tom with a windscreen mount and have had the same problem. Have you made sure that you've brushed your teeth and used Listerine before you undertake the mounting procedure?Richary wrote: I've got a TomTom OneXL.
