" ... The only con I have about it is that the suction can get sticky and attract dust when not in use. ... some tape kind of takes care of the dust. ... "
" ... If it gets any piece of dust under it, it will not stick very well. ... "
" ... The suction lasted all of 1 hour in my car and fell off my dash on the bay bridge which was terrifying. ... "

" ... I cleaned surface with alcohol before applying but it would fall off in hot weather. ... "
" ... Con: more as a beware — remove the holder suction material will melt if left while the sun is out. ... I made the mistake of keeping it on for days and now I have to wok hard to remove the gunk/residue. ... "
" ... When I went to reposition it, it took quite a bit of force to peel off the suction cub due to the "glue." ... Luckily there was no leftover residue on the window once removed, and the "glue" still seemed very sticky. ... "
