Windshield Mount
The Windshield mount attaches directly to the inside surface of the windshield. The phone is inserted into the adjustable jaws. The mount features an adjustable Jaw which can hold phones with widths that range from 1.75" to 3.75". The Jaw can be rotated vertical or horizontal or to any angle. The Jaw is attached to its base with a ball and socket which allows for 360 degree rotation as well as for orienting the jaw from 0-180 degrees. The extra large 3.25" suction cup provides extra holding strength for even the most heavy smart phones.

Installation Instructions:
- The Jaw and mount are separate assemblies. Attach the Jaw to the Mount.
- The windshield must be completely clean & dry. If the surface is not prepared properly the suction cup seal will eventually fail. Even if the glass appears clean, the glass should be cleaned. Smoking will leave a film on all vehicle surfaces and will prevent the mount from attaching.
- The suction cup is protected by a thin plastic sheet which must first be removed.
- The silicon suction cup becomes less flexible with cold temperatures. If installing when the ambient temperature is <65 °F, it will be necessary to warm the suction cup prior to installation. A hair drier can be used.
- The silicon suction cup must be pressed firmly against the windshield.
- Once the suction cup is firmly flat against the glass, press the locking tab at the base of the suction cup to create the suction which will adhere the suction cup to the glass.
- Adjust the Mount's swivel head as desired and then lightly tighten the locking ring.
- Test that the mount is firmly attached to the windshield. It is recommended to let the mount hold its own weight for a day before proceeding, to make sure the installation is correct.
- Open the jaw to its widest open position by pressing the button in the upper right hand corner of the jaw.
- Fold out the lower ledge found at the bottom of the jaws.
- Insert the phone so that it rests upon the ledge and then squeeze the jaws together. Be sure the Jaws tightly grasp the phone so that it does not come lose while driving.
Failed Installation
If the mount was installed without following the instructions above, the suction cup will likely have been contaminated by the dirty windshield.
If so, it will be necessary to wash the suction cup in warm water with a little dish soap. Rinse with very hot water. Shake dry and then air dry until completely dry. Do not attempt to dry the suction cup with a towel or paper towel. Both will leave fibrous debris on the cup which will cause the suction cup to fail. A hair dryer can be used to accelerate the drying. Once the suction cup is dry, follow the installation instructions above.
If the jaw & mount have been removed from their protective plastic bag , they can no longer be returned as part of our 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
* A suction based mount, like the windshield mount, is not a "forever" mount. It is necessary to inspect the condition of the mount every so often and increasingly with age. It is recommended to re-install the mount, as per the "Failed Installation" instruction above, at the start of winter and the start of summer, as a minimum. Failure to do so, may result in the failure of the mount, and potential damage to your mobile device.
The Windshield Mount may be optionally purchased separately
