The short version
What the full guide walks you through
Watch the official and community install videos.
Align the mount high and centred before peeling the tape.
Press firmly and let the adhesive cure.
Attach cables so they do not tug the device.
Read the fallen-mount section if it lets go.
Before you start
- The wiki may be shut down; check the link still works.

Quick answers
Questions people ask
How long should the adhesive cure?
Many owners leave the mount alone for 24 to 48 hours, out of direct sun, before hanging the device.
Can I install on a cold day?
Better not; the tape bonds poorly in the cold and breath condensation gets under it. Warm the glass with the defroster first.
My mount fell off. Can I reuse it?
No; failed adhesive is compromised. Use the second mount in the box and clean the glass again with alcohol.
