Do you need an angle wedge?

Consider one if the windshield tilts the device by more than roughly 5 degrees. Confirm fit for your exact car before buying. BearTech says its comma 4 Side Slidemount usually does not need one.

Using a printable mount?

Use heat-tolerant material such as ASA or PETG. Avoid PLA on a windshield because summer cabin heat can deform it.
