Morning peoples of the world.

I have used NextBase dash cams for a few years now but for some reason on my wife's car (Ford B-Max 2013) and my new RRTDV8 (2011) I cant get the dash cam to stay stuck on the back window, front is perfect. On my previous car (Freelander2 2007) it had no problem sticking front and back but on RR it lasts about 10 mins of driving then starts swinging across the back window.

Looks like I have to add some sort of adhesive but don't want to use something that will damage the suction cup or leave a mark on the rear window when its removed.

Do other people have this problem and if so, what do they use to keep the back dash cam in place?

Thanks in advance.

Almost 2 months in to my First FFRR and still massive grin when driving

One of the biggest issues is not making sure both sides are clean, clean, clean! Use a really good glass cleaner to clean the glass and the surface of the suction mount. Failing that, yes, some double sided tape may be the needed solution.

The dashcams I have in my cars uses suction for the front facing camera and double sided foam tape for the rear facing camera.

Good luck!

The only time mine fall off either front or rear is during really hot weather, otherwise they stay in place for months Paul,

On my Freelander 2 they stayed on the front and back for 3 years but as you say, in hot weather they can drop off. Have cleaned windows but suspect its something to do with ridges in the rear glass so may try double sided tape and see how that goes.

I have cut off the sucker and replaced it with automotive double sided tape, winner!!!

All weathers and temperatures, it remains in place. Just avoid the heating element strips on the back window if you have them.

Have ordered some 3M stickers from Amazon that say they are for dashcams and other things. Hoping they will work.

Problem solved, about £4 from Amazon for 2 50mm 3M clear stickers, and now not dropped once in over a week.

This works 100% for me.
