What to Do If the Dash Cam Won't Stick?
2 Answers
Solutions for a dash cam that won't stick: Clean the area on the windshield where you plan to install it thoroughly. Ensure there is no moisture where the adhesive tape will be applied. You can use a hair dryer to warm up the adhesive tape for better adhesion. If you have a suction cup-style dash cam, try applying a small amount of water to the suction cup before attaching it to the glass for a firmer hold. If it still doesn't stick, you can try using 3M double-sided tape. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. Installing a dash cam allows you to record the entire driving process, including video and audio, which can serve as evidence in case of traffic accidents.
Last time I helped my neighbor with a dash cam, I encountered the same issue. The key is to clean the windshield thoroughly! Use alcohol wipes to repeatedly clean the installation area, removing all grease and dust. Then, try this little magic tool—the static sticker. First, stick the static sticker onto the glass, then use 3M adhesive to secure the dash cam onto the static sticker. My dash cam hasn’t fallen off for over two years using this method. If it’s a suction cup model, press the suction cup base twice before driving to re-seal it. In summer, try to park in the shade as much as possible, since high temperatures can soften the adhesive.
