What kind of adhesive is used for dash cams?
2 Answers
Dash cams can use 3M adhesive and adhesion promoters. Below is a related introduction to dash cam adhesives: 1. Requirements: Before installing the dash cam, the windshield installation area should be cleaned. If it is a glue-fixed dash cam, there should be no water in the installation area. You can use a hair dryer to heat the adhesive tape, which will improve the adhesion effect and make it stick more firmly. 2. Introduction to dash cams: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process of the car, including video images and sounds, providing evidence for traffic accidents.
The choice of adhesive for dash cams depends on your usage. I've found the heavy-duty 3M double-sided tape (the black strip type) most reliable after years of use—it bonds exceptionally well to windshields, staying put even in summer car temperatures reaching 50-60°C. Remember to clean the glass with alcohol first, let it dry completely before application, and press the adhesive firmly for an extended period. When repositioning, use a hairdryer to heat and remove it slowly; any residue can be wiped off with essential balm. Avoid suction cup adhesives—they may fall off in heat and obstruct your view. Static cling adhesives are another option, leaving no marks but may wobble in strong winds. Safety comes first: ensure a secure bond to protect driving safety.
