Garmin Bean-bag mount problem

| I have a Garmin GPS 5 that I use with a bean-bag mount on the dashboard
on my cars. The bottom surface of the bean-bag has become so slippery
that the unit slides around the vinyl dashboard. Has anyone come up with
a way to make that surface tacky or non-slippery?

There are two versions of the BB mount. If you have the earlier one, I
suggest you look into the newer one. I have both and the original was
pretty useless; new one is much better designed.

| Get a 'sticky pad' from Radio Shack or Office Depot/Max. I use one on my
Miata which has a fairly sloping dash that's pretty slick.

| Put the sticky pad between the dash and your existing bean bag mount.

It may have become coated with dirt, which makes it less sticky. You
might try washing the bottom surface of the beanbag and be sure your
dashboard is clean.
