TomTom Additional Windshield Mount Kit for One and XL GPS Navigators (pre 130 and 330 models)

This GPS holder worked the same as the original one did. It has been on three or four vacations with us so far and hasn't given us any problems yet. I think this holder works better than the original. The original holder would loose suction and fall from the window while driving. This one holds the GPS unit tighter and very stable. Great purchase for the price.

Obviously TomTom changed the original design which was very hard to adjust (would pull the unit off the bracket if I wasn't careful). These have a clamping arragement at the "ball joint" which has to be periodically tightened but that is far better than before. I ened up using silicone grease on the old/original style mount just to be ableto use it w/o cussing LOL. A bit pricey but worth replacing the old one.

Does what you need it to do

I have had my gps unit for a few years now and I bought this product to replace the windshield mount that came with my initial purchase after having had a passenger sit on it and break the outer ring. Overall, I have been really pleased with this replacement. The unit seems quite durable, made of strong plastic that has not deformed, even after being left in the windshield on hot summer and cold winter days. The suction cup is strong and I have had very few issues with regards to the GPS falling off of the windshield. Once in a while I do notice a ring on the windshield after I remove the mount. This also tended to occur with the original mount that was included with my Tom Tom. It is not a big deal and cleans off easily with a little cleaning wipe. It shipped quickly and was packaged very securely. The mount fit the GPS a bit tightly, making it a little difficult to get the unit in place, but I think that is better than too loose. It has held up to quite a bit of use already and I would not hesitate to purchase this product again.

This replacement is identical in construction to the original TomTom mount. It lacks the TomTom logo, that's all (don't believe the photo, which shows the logo). The plastic suction pad is made of the correct clear plastic and grips well. Beware when opening the packet - on my unit the little rubber bungs that cover the ball joint adjusting screws fell out separately. Luckily I did not lose them. The joint was very tight out of the box but adjusts easily using the two screws.I have no reason to believe that the durability is any worse than the original but as it's brand new and untested, I gave 4 stars. My original mount lasted for years before the suction clamp ring locking mechanism fell apart.3 months later: I returned the original because it stopped working after the first long road trip. No suction, would not stick to anything. Loot Hive promptly replaced it, but the second one failed in December 2018, less than 3 months after purchase. Both had hairline splits in the soft plastic suction cup where it joins the hard plastic puller. Loot Hive has not responded this time. I can no longer recommend this mount.

I have several vehicles and change my Tom Tom navigation device from one to the other. I have the original windshield mounting kit provided by Tom Tom when I bought the Tom Tom a couple of years ago. It still works great. I had bought another mounting kit that was for the Tom Tom. It looks similar, but was less expensive. After less than a year the "look alike" mounting kit would not hold the Tom Tom in the position I had placed it for optimal viewing. So much for the "knock off", time for another mounting kit.I ordered this mounting kit as it was described to be for the Tom Tom device and looked just like the Factory model that came with the Tom Tom; and it was quite a bit less expensive.I received the shipment several days before I expected it to arrive. Score one for fast delivery. It looks like the Factory model and seems sturdy and "tight" enough to not loosen up; allowing the device to go out of viewing position. But, it has only been in use less than a month. I have no complaints about this mounting kit; so far.Like I said in the title, So Far, So Good.

I lost my original or left it in a rental car. This is a genuine replacement in TomTom packaging. This replacement includes another car charger / power supply.Note to people who complain about the TomTom suction cup mount not sticking to the windshield: There is a lock and unlock position on the mount. I've never had the mount fall off the glass if it was turned to lock position.NOTE: 28 Oct 2014 My review was almost 5 years ago! I received a genuine replacement in TomTom packaging with car cord. My review was accurate as to what I received at the time. I can only guess that the current product is not the same

When my original bracket got damaged by the Arizona sun...I went on eBay and bought a non-branded imitation bracket.That lasted 1 week and fell apart! The original one lasted about 1 year at 117F !So after the eBay experience I looked it up here on Amazon and found this super sturdy and reliable unit.This is a KIT and includes an extra cigarette lighter charger, so if you travel as much as I do, you will find this an awesome choice to take along and use on rental cars across the country.This might not be the cheapest solution but it is worth every single penny.
